Résumé
Family caregivers of patients with cancer often experience both loneliness and symptoms of psychological distress, such as anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations between loneliness and anxiety and loneliness and depression among family caregivers of patients with cancer and to investigate whether positive aspects of caregiving can have a moderating effect on these relationships. We conducted a cross-sectional exploratory study using baseline data from an ongoing multisite clinical trial. Multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the relationships between loneliness and psychological distress symptoms and the moderating effect of positive aspects of caregiving. Psychological distress outcomes were measured using PROMIS Short Forms (8a) for Anxiety and Depression. We identified a significant association between loneliness and symptoms of both anxiety and depression. Positive aspects of caregiving did not significantly moderate the relationship between loneliness and depression or loneliness and anxiety. The results of this study shed new light on the relationship between loneliness and symptoms of psychological distress experienced by family caregivers of cancer patients, providing a better understanding of the impact that recognition of positive aspects of caregiving has on the association between loneliness and psychological distress symptoms. Our findings emphasize the importance of targeting family caregiver loneliness in order to reduce psychological distress among family caregivers of cancer patients.
