CareSTEPS: A Supportive Care Program for the Caregivers of Advanced Lung Cancer Patients

The CareSTEPS intervention fills an important service gap by providing education, skills training, and support to the caregivers of advanced lung cancer patients on active treatment. The home-based delivery format will facilitate future dissemination and outreach. By empowering families with the skills they need to provide care and meet the challenges of lung cancer, this intervention holds great promise for improving caregiver quality of life (QOL), patient QOL, and the quality of palliative and supportive care services offered to patients with advanced cancer and their families.
