Abstract

Objectives: To conduct a single-arm prospective pilot study examining the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) intervention among family caregivers (FCGs) of individuals with head and neck cancer (HNC).

Sample & setting: This study was conducted with 26 FCGs of individuals with HNC receiving chemotherapy in the medical oncology clinic at the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Methods & variables: The SMART intervention consisted of in-person and online components. Measurements included feasibility, acceptability, self-compassion, resilience, perceived stress, anxiety, and mindfulness.

Results: Results support acceptability of the SMART program and provide recommendations to improve feasibility. Data indicate significant improvements in self-compassion (p = 0.03) and anxiety (p = 0.02), with positive trends for resilience, stress, and mindfulness.

Implications for nursing: This study warrants further research with larger, more diverse samples testing the efficacy of the program, its mechanism of action, and potential synergistic effects among individuals receiving oncology care, FCGs, and nurses.

癌症晚期患者家庭护理人员压力管理和复原能力培训（SMART）计划的结果。

目的：进行一项单臂前瞻性试点研究，以及在癌症患者的家庭护理人员（FCG）中进行压力管理和弹性训练（SMART）干预的初步有效性。样本和设置：本研究对梅奥诊所综合癌症中心肿瘤医学诊所接受化疗的26名HNC患者的FCG进行。方法和变量：SMART干预包括面对面和在线部分。测量包括可行性、可接受性、自我同情、韧性、感知压力、焦虑和正念。结果：结果支持SMART计划的可接受性，并提供改进可行性的建议。数据表明，自我同情（p=0.03）和焦虑（p=0.02）显著改善，韧性、压力和正念呈积极趋势。对护理的影响：这项研究值得进一步研究，使用更大、更多样的样本来测试该计划的疗效、作用机制，以及接受肿瘤护理的个体、FCG和护士之间的潜在协同效应。
