What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) interventionBehavioural
The CSNAT intervention is a caregiver-led approach where the caregiver first identifies his/her needs of support in the CSNAT, which consists of 14 support domains. Then the practitioner facilitates the intervention where the caregiver prioritizes which domains to discuss. In the conversation, the caregiver's domain priorities and subsequently identified support needs are discussed with the practitioner to agree on actions/solutions and a shared action plan. The intervention will be offered each caregiver twice: the first time between 0 and 13 days after enrollment, and the second time between 15 and 27 days after enrollment.

|---|---|---|
| Intervention | Experimental | ('Standard' specialized palliative care +) The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) intervention. Receives: Behavioral: The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) intervention |
| Control | No intervention | ('Standard' specialized palliative care). No intervention offered. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Caregiver strain
Caregiver strain is measured by the subscale 'Caregiver Strain' in the Family Appraisal of Caregiving Questionnaire for Palliative Care (FACQ-PC). Subscale score range: 1-5. A higher score represents a worse outcome, i.e. more caregiver strain.
Measured: Change from baseline (enrollment) to day 14

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing The Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) intervention in people with Palliative Care, run by Bispebjerg Hospital at 10 sites in Denmark.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 10 sites in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Caregiver strain (time frame: Change from baseline (enrollment) to day 14). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03466580, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2021.
