Summary
This study tests a training program called PACT for nurses who care for patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer. The training teaches nurses how to involve family caregivers as partners and connect them with resources. Researchers will observe whether nurses use these skills more often and if it improves outcomes for family caregivers. About 84 nurses and family caregivers are taking part at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
