18506 Background: Informal caregivers of prostate cancer patients often experience chronic psychological stress that may adversely impact their physical and mental health, and their ability to care for their families and the patient. This study aims to determine the association between perceived and biological stress among informal caregivers of prostate cancer patients. Methods: A total of 24 informal caregivers of prostate cancer patients were recruited from both the Jesse Brown VA Center (Lakeside and Westside, Chicago) and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University. Caregivers completed self-reported measures of stress, somatization, life events, burden, health status (SF-36) and mental health. Capillary blood spot samples from caregivers were used to examine two measures of biological stress, Epstein-Barr virus antibody titer and C-reactive protein. Results: Informal caregivers had a mean age of 63 years and were mostly female and spouses of patients with prostate cancer. Many had preexisting co-morbidities, including 45.8% with hypertension, 45.8% with arthritis, and 33.3% with diabetes. Nearly 30% had been hospitalized in the last 12 months. 33.3% of caregivers experienced at least one major life event in the last year and 62.5% had symptoms of somatization illness. Caregivers with symptoms of somatization illness had higher mean Epstein-Barr antibody titers as compared with those without symptoms (Mean EBV antibody titer: 198.3 versus 141.8, respectively (p < 0.05)). Caregiver-reported measures were not correlated with C-reactive protein levels. Caregivers with higher levels of strain perceived more stress in their lives (p < 0.05), but showed relatively high self-esteem (mean = 30.6, SD = 2.8, on a 7–35 scale). Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that informal caregivers who report symptoms of somatization illness exhibit signs of relative suppression of the cell-mediated immune processes as a result of the reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus. Final analyses will be conducted that control for potential confounders and will further elucidate if caregiver stress is associated with suppression of the immune system. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
