Abstract

Purpose

Informal caregiving for cancer patients is associated with substantial costs and negative health impact. This study investigated the health, humanistic and economic consequences of caring for lung cancer patients in five European Union (EU) countries.

Methods

The study included respondents to the 2010/2011 EU National Health and Wellness Survey from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom who self-reported being caregivers of a relative with lung cancer (n = 107) or non-caregivers (n = 103,868). Bivariate and multivariable analyses tested the association of caregiving with stress-related comorbidities; health-related quality of life (HRQoL), using the Short Form-12; healthcare resource use; and work productivity/activity impairment, using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) questionnaire. Costs were based on absenteeism and presenteeism rates.

Results

Caregivers versus non-caregivers had significantly higher odds of depression, insomnia, headache and gastrointestinal symptoms, and worse HRQoL. Caregivers reported significantly higher rates of presenteeism-related, overall work and activity impairment; higher odds of impairment across WPAI measures; and higher annual indirect costs with presenteeism and overall work impairment.

Conclusions

Caregiving for lung cancer patients is associated with significant health/work impairments and costs, highlighting a need for increased, personalized caregiver support.
