Description
The refractory cachexia can lead to suffering conditions in
relatives of cancer-affected people, which can have a reciprocal
impact. Educative interventions can alleviate this suffering and
increase the quality of life of the actors involved in the disease
process through an interdisciplinary approach.
The aim is, to develop an educational concept, which can be used as
an accompanying intervention pro-gram for relatives of cancer
affected people with refractory cachexia in the Hospital.
