This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether a structured education program helps brain tumor patients and their caregivers feel better and cope more effectively. Brain tumor patients often face physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that can overwhelm both patients and the people caring for them. This trial compares patients and caregivers who receive specially designed education to those who receive only standard hospital discharge training.
Brain tumor patients have greater care needs than many other cancer patients, which puts significant stress on their caregivers and reduces quality of life for both. Research shows that nursing education and support can help patients feel better emotionally and mentally, and can lighten the burden on caregivers—but this type of intervention is still not widely available.

If you join the education group, you and your caregiver will receive structured educational sessions designed to help you understand your condition, manage symptoms, and cope with the physical and emotional challenges ahead. The control group will receive only the standard discharge education typically provided at the hospital. The study will measure how both groups feel about their quality of life, symptom severity, and—for caregivers—how much stress and burden they experience over time.
