10042 Background: Depression is common in caregivers (cgs) of patients (pts) with cancer. However, little is known about the association of health status of older pts with cancer with cg emotional health. Methods: Baseline data from a GA intervention study conducted at 68 oncology practices in the UR NCORP were analyzed. Pts aged ≥ 70 with an advanced solid tumor cancer or lymphoma with ≥ 1 GA impairment were enrolled; pts could enroll with 1 cg. Relationships between pt GA impairments (using 12 validated measures) and cg (spouses or live-in partners) emotional health including anxiety ( ≥ 5 on Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)), depression ( ≥ 2 on Patient Health Questionnaire-2), and distress ( ≥ 4 on distress thermometer) were evaluated in separate multivariate logistic models adjusted for pt (cancer type, treatment status) and cg (age, sex, race, education, income, comorbidity) characteristics. Results: Among 213 pts (mean age 76, 70-89), >50% had ≥ 5 impaired GA measures. Of the 213 cg (mean age 73, 52-91), 23% screened positive for anxiety, 16% for depression, and 40% for distress. In bivariate analyses, number of GA impairments, ≥ 1 fall, pt anxiety ( ≥ 5 on GAD-7) and depression ( ≥ 5 on Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)) were associated with all 3 cg outcomes; pt activities of daily living (ADL) deficits were associated with cg depression and distress. In multivariate analysis, number of GA impairments was associated with cg distress. In separate models, pt ADL deficit and depression were associated with cg distress, and pt ADL deficit was associated with cg depression. GA variables were not associated with cg anxiety in multivariate analysis. Conclusions: A high proportion of cg of older pts with cancer report distress. GA can help identify cg at risk for poor emotional health. Interventions for cgs should address the health status of older pts with cancer. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background Prevention is essential to reduce the development of symptomology among children and adolescents into disorders, thereby improving public health and reducing costs. Therefore, easily administered screening and early assessment methods with good reliability and validity are necessary to effectively identify children’s functioning and how these develop. The Brief Problem Monitor (BPM) is an instrument designed for this purpose. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the BPM parent (BPM-P) and teacher (BPM-T) versions, including internal reliability and construct validity at assessing children with internalizing problems. Methods Baseline data were collected from a national randomized controlled intervention study. Children aged 8–12 years with self-reported symptoms of anxiety and/or depression with one standard deviation above a chosen population’s mean were included in this study. Teachers (n = 750) and parents (n = 596) rated children using the BPM-T and BPM-P, respectively. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach’s alpha, and multi-informant agreement between the BPM-P and BPM-T was measured using Spearman’s correlations. Construct validity was assessed via confirmatory factor analysis. Results Internal consistency was good throughout all domains for both the BPM-P and BPM-T, with a Cronbach’s alpha ranging from .763 to .878. Multi-informant agreement between the parents and the teacher was moderate on the externalizing, attention, and total scales and low on the internalizing scale. The model fit for the three-factor structure of the BPM was excellent for the BPM-P and good for the BPM-T. Conclusions Internal consistency was good, and the original three-factor solution of the BPM-P and BPM-T was confirmed based on our sample of school children at-risk for emotional problems. These promising results indicate that the BPM may be a valid short assessment tool for measuring attentional, behavioral, and internalizing problems in children.
