Self-report of symptom cluster experiences in cancer patient-caregiver dyads.

Dyad members experienced and successfully self-reported symptom clusters, with psychoneurologic symptom clusters prevalent among both patients and their caregivers. Self-report of symptom cluster experiences provides unique insight relevant to clinical management. Findings provide foundational support for development and testing of dyad-based interventions to mitigate symptom clusters and their negative impact on daily life among cancer-patient caregiver dyads.
