Haryana Dhillon: A need for interventions aimed at improving the well-being and preparedness of carers of people with HGG
Haryana Dhillon, Associate Professor of Psychology at University of Sydney, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Delighted to share this work in which we explored: (i) what carers of people with HGG perceive could improve their preparedness to care; and (ii) what needs carers reported they required additional support with.
What we found was a need for interventions aimed at improving the well-being and preparedness of carers of people with HGG should consider providing better support centered on carer needs, their changed circumstances, living with uncertainty, and care transition.
This is part of our work in the BRAINS program, a collaboration between Psycho-Oncology Cooperative Research Group, Cooperative Group for Neuro-Oncology, Cancer Symptom Trials Group, and PC4.”
