The aims of this study were to (a) describe the nature of patients' goals upon discharge from hospital, family caregivers' goals for their loved ones, and family caregivers' goals for themselves; (b) determine the degree of concordance with respect to the three elicited goals; (c) ascertain goal attainment across the three elicited goals; and (d) examine factors predictive of goal attainment. Our findings support the position that eliciting patient and family caregiver goals and promoting goal attainment may represent an important step toward promoting greater patient and family caregiver engagement in their care.

The contribution of cognitive disengagement syndrome symptoms to depressive symptoms among pediatric brain tumor survivors.
J Pediatr Psychol
January 2025
The Abigail Wexner Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH, United States.
Objective: Pediatric brain tumor survivors (PBTS) are at risk for neurocognitive late effects that can resemble symptoms of cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS). In the current study, we compared the CDS symptoms of PBTS to those of healthy comparison classmates (CC) and examined whether CDS might explain group differences in depressive symptoms. We also explored whether CDS symptoms were associated with engagement-based coping strategies and stress responses, thereby testing one mechanism by which CDS could lead to affective difficulties.

We describe how care is shared within and between households.
