Introduction: Cancer is the second leading cause of death due to non-communicable diseases and is one of the biggest challenges facing the global healthcare system. Patients with cancer often require long-term care due to their multiple symptoms, and informal caregivers play a crucial role in supporting these patients. However, this responsibility can have a negative impact on the physical and mental health of the caregivers themselves. The present study outlines a protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial aimed at "determining the impact of a self-management program based on the 5A model on self-care and quality of life of cancer patients' caregivers."
Method & Materials: The present study was a controlled clinical trial that included 66 informal caregivers of cancer patients. The participants were selected randomly, using the Random Number Generator V2 software, from the list of cancer patients who met the criteria for entering the research, and their caregivers were randomly assigned to two Intervention and control groups, using the same software. The intervention group received the 5A self-management program in 5 stages and during 10 weeks. The quality of life and self-care in both groups were measured before, immediately and 3 months after the intervention. The data was analyzed using SPSS 21 software.
Discussion: This study may provide evidence for the implementation of supportive programs for cancer caregivers and could also enhance the role of nurses in specialized oncology clinics, leading to improved care for both patients and their caregivers.
