Abstract

Background: Partners of cancer patients typically provide the majority of patients' emotional and physical care. Partners may be profoundly affected by the cancer and may experience ongoing supportive care needs across the survivorship continuum. Research has been restricted by a lack of psychometrically evaluated measures and in this study, a self-report measure of partners' needs was developed and empirically evaluated.
