Abstract Abstract 3169 Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an established treatment for certain hematologic malignancies (Thomas, 2004). The process of undergoing HSCT is intense and time consuming. Patients and their caregivers are required to commit to several months of treatment and close follow-up. Our program requires patients to have a full-time caregiver to assist them with transportation, treatment compliance, nutritional intake and emotional support. Patients are not allowed to be alone, go to public areas, or independently manage their medications. The need for a caregiver p

Self-efficacy (SE) in caregiving refers to confidence in being able to care for the patient’s needs. Low SE has been associated with increased caregiver burden and mental health symptoms, which in turn, can affect the quality of informal care provided. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between caregiver training received from cancer care providers and SE in caregivers of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Although there are many reasons why an individual becomes a caregiver, there are even more ways for a caregiver to suffer “burnout,” which can endanger his or her well-being and limit the ability to provide adequate care to another. This article provides a summary of the manner in which an individual may approach caregiving, the reasons for becoming a caregiver, the causes of caregiver fatigue and burnout, and the liability that a caregiver may face if he or she does not provide adequate care.

Abstract:
Burnout among caregivers of the terminally ill is related to the various ways in which people meet their death. Clinical experience and field studies reveal that every form of dying and death places its own distinctive emotional burden on the caregiver. For example, in the wake of a swift and violent death, an emergency room nurse may believe that he or she was not really trusted by the supervisors and not allowed to exercise his or her own professional judgment. The lack of opportunity to establish a last bond with the dying person can generate intense frustration. By contrast, the “slow deat

The aim of this dissertation is to explore how informal caregivers for people with dementia (PWD), who are community dwelling (i.e., not in nursing homes), prepare and plan for disasters. The research site is a particularly hurricane-prone region of Florida, second only to New Orleans in its vulnerability. An underlying assumption of this research is that caregivers for PWD have to plan and anticipate problems that are unique to their role.

Abstract:
Caring for an ailing child can have significant impacts on a caregiver’s physical, spiritual, emotional, and socioeconomic domains of life. Comprehensive care of the whole family includes an assessment and plan for the caregiver’s well-being. Interval evaluation of caregiver well-being can help anticipate future needs such as home care, respite, and counseling. Palliative care interventions should include caregiver assessments and creation of layered support for the whole family. Close attention should be paid to signs of caregiver fatigue, burnout, grief, and neglect of basic needs. Caregiver support can affect downstream care for the ailing child by fortifying the people who are responsible for the medical care.

Abstract:
Cancer-related fatigue is the most common and severe symptom patients experience while receiving palliative care. It is also the most underdiagnosed and undertreated. Fatigue has substantial adverse physical, psychosocial, and economic consequences for patients and caregivers, and it is an important predictor of patients’ quality of life. Management of fatigue involves thorough assessment of severity and various dimensions of the symptoms, including the physical, psychological, and cognitive domains. A focused exam and laboratory evaluation should be conducted to treat the reversible causes. All patients should be managed using nonpharmacological strategies such as exercise and counseling whenever feasible. A short trial of steroids or methylphenidate should be considered for symptom relief.

Abstract:
This chapter investigates the emergence, evolution, and performance of the concept of “compassion fatigue” in the humanitarian context. It tracks the uses made by humanitarians of bodily responses to their work or representations of their work from a discourse on a danger of humanitarian excess to its redefinition as the embodiment of caregivers’ dilemmas and, finally, as a metaphor for understanding the potential for public disengagement with fundraising campaigns. This chapter seeks to determine how compassion fatigue has been embodied, represented, addressed, and politically used in humanitarian contexts. Its focus points are the social and political organizations that have framed the emotions of humanitarian actors and spectators as “compassion fatigue” as well as the effects that this categorization has had in both the understanding of the humanitarian work and of its political agenda.

Abstract:
Is it possible to care too much? Teachers care. We want the best for our students and colleagues and communities. Yet some of us may care too much about others’ feelings, personal struggles, and life challenges. When we absorb all the bad news, our lenses get foggy. We worry beyond the bounds of our abilities to help. We begin to believe that fixing the problem is futile, that we cannot make a difference in such a quagmire. We give our selves away. The helpers become the victims. Caregivers become needy of care. When compassion fatigue overwhelms, we must develop strategies for self- care. Maintaining strength to help others is necessary, even when that strength must include a professional distance, a sense of separateness. Self- compassion is necessary to maintain stamina and avoid compassion fatigue in schools. Cultivating a rich personal life may include pursuing personal, social, physical, and spiritual activities that calm us, inform us, and give us sustenance. We learn to care for ourselves in ways that matter.

Abstract:
Some of these are well known to produce distress but others are not as commonly thought of as symptoms which require palliation. Fatigue is nearly ubiquitous at the end of life and in all serious illness patients. While it may not be as obvious as pain or vomiting, it can be just as debilitating. Anorexia is not usually difficult for the patient but can be very hard for family/caregivers to understand. Hiccoughs are obvious but when intractable or chronic are also very uncomfortable and may predispose to poor oral intake. Ascites causes a host of other symptoms uncluding dyspnea and often requires surgical intervention. Fever and sweating cause discomfort but may also contribute to volume depletion and electrolyte disturbances.

Abstract:
Heart failure (HF) is the most common cause of death. The acute syndrome of HF, better known as congestive heart failure, accounts for at least 20% of medical admissions to all hospitals for patients older than age 65 years. HF tends to have a high symptom burden (dyspnea, fatigue, edema, pain, nausea, anxiety, and depression) and periods of decompensation often requiring hospitalization. There is a high level of prognostic uncertainty, leading to significant psychosocial distress for both patients and their caregivers. Advance care planning and complex shared decision-making become increasingly important as HF progresses, particularly when patients are faced with options such as transplant and mechanical circulatory support, which may not align well with their overall goals or preferences. This chapter discusses the key issues related to end-stage HF, including diagnosis, symptom management, and prognosis.

Abstract:
Neurological disorders are among the leading causes of morbidity and death worldwide. Although stroke is the third leading cause of death, after heart disease and cancer, in the United States, other neurological diseases have a more chronic course that leads to protracted disability, morbidity, and death. Unfortunately, for many of these disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), no cure is currently available. Patients suffer from dysarthria, dysphagia, muscle spasm, bladder and bowel difficulties, pain syndromes, and fatigue. Adequate symptom management and palliative care have the potential to maintain good quality of life for patients for as long as possible and ease the burden on both caregivers and patients. This chapter outlines the principles of clinical symptom management for some of the most important neurological diseases, specifically ALS, stroke, MS, and Parkinson’s disease.
