What is this study about?
This project is about understanding the experiences of informal caregivers—people who look after someone with cancer without being paid. The researchers want to learn what it’s like to attend healthcare appointments as a caregiver, and how doctors and nurses can better support you.
Your feedback will help:
- Improve how healthcare staff work with caregivers
- Make sure caregivers feel heard and supported
- Find ways to improve care for both patients and their families
What will you be asked to do?
You’ll fill out an online survey that includes:
- A short consent form
- A few questions about you (like your age and education)
- 8 open-ended questions about your experience as a caregiver
You can also choose to:
- Be invited to take part in two short follow-up surveys (each takes about 5 minutes)
- Enter the prize draw
