NCT ID NCT07668427
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based program designed to help caregivers of prostate cancer patients deal with uncertainty and reduce the burden of caregiving. The program is based on a theory about how people handle uncertainty in illness. Researchers will measure changes in caregivers' intolerance of uncertainty and their overall burden. The trial aims to enroll 62 caregivers in Turkey.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a simple, accessible way to help caregivers feel less stressed and overwhelmed.
