Supportive Care for Adults with Advanced Cancer and their Family Caregivers
Dr. Catherine Mosher's field of research, Pyscho-Oncology, is the study of the behavioral, psychological, and social aspects of cancer. She is interested in the experiences of both patients and their family caregivers. We know that patients often suffer from a range of debilitating symptoms such as depression, anxiety, pain and fatigue. And family caregivers are often just as distressed, if not more distressed, than the patients themselves.
Dr. Mosher's research aims to address both patients' and family caregivers' concerns by developing and testing new counseling approaches. The approaches are delivered over the telephone and online to have the broadest reach to patients and caregivers throughout the state of Indiana.
Dr. Mosher's goal is to implement and disseminate these counseling interventions into clinical practice for improved outcomes for patients with advanced cancer and their family caregivers is another excellent example of how IUPUI's faculty members are TRANSLATING their RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE.
