Description of the product:
This product is part of the GeriaFlix series at the University of Iowa. GeriaFlix are multidisciplinary presentations on topics in clinical geriatrics. Presented in a streaming digital video format with synchronized slides, each presentation lasts approximately 1 hour.
In this presentation, Ms. Berlin will review the daily tasks and challenges faced by caregivers of older cancer patients and explain the common physical, financial, and emotional impacts of these challenges on the caregiver. She will examine the most common values and unmet needs of caregivers of older cancer patients and discuss resources and interventions available to help both the patients and their caregivers. She will also address the concepts of anticipatory grief and the end-of-life paradox.
