UNASSIGNED: 226 Background: @entity1 undergoing @entity5 treatment often need support from an informal caregiver to help manage symptoms. @entity14062 ( @entity14062 ) in caregiving refers to confidence in being able to care for the @entity1 's needs. Low @entity14062 has been associated with increased caregiver burden and @entity146 , which in turn, can affect the quality of informal care provided. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between caregiver training received from @entity5 care providers and @entity14062 in caregivers of @entity1 with @entity14 ( @entity14 ). METHODS: Caregivers of @entity14 @entity1 diagnosed in 2009 were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Caregivers were asked about specific @entity1 problems (pain, bowel, @entity1295 , medications, and other). Caregiver perceptions of training adequacy and @entity14062 were assessed on a problem specific basis. The @entity1 's stage of disease was obtained from @entity5 registry data. Associations between training and @entity14062 were examined for each problem using multivariate logistic regression and adjusted for age, relationship to @entity1 , race, care burden, level of education, stage of disease, perception of @entity1 's health, and general confidence as a caregiver. RESULTS: 417 caregivers completed the survey (70% response rate), of whom 374 (90%) were female and 284 (68%) were the @entity1 's spouse/partner. The number of caregivers reporting inadequate training for @entity14 -related problems were pain 77 (38%), bowel 80 (38%), @entity1295 121 (48%), medication 65 (26%), and other 101 (40%). The odds of having low @entity14062 were significantly higher among those with perceptions of inadequate training across the following @entity14 -related problems: pain, 10.10 (3.36, 30.39); bowel, 5.04 (1.98, 12.82); @entity1295 , 8.45 (3.22, 22.15); managing medications, 9.00 (3.30, 24.51); and other, 3.87 (1.68, 8.93). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a significant association between caregiver training and @entity14062 in a cross-sectional study. Given that the perception of inadequate training among caregivers was common, further exploration of the longitudinal impact of training on caregiver @entity14062 should be done to identify interventions to help improve the experience of @entity5 caregivers.
