Spirituality/Religiosity in Patients and Caregivers

Questionnaires: If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study and you agree to take part, you will complete 9 questionnaires. The first 2 questionnaires ask about your demographic information (such as your education level and age) and the symptoms of cancer you may be experiencing. The 6 other questionnaires ask questions about several subjects. You will be asked about your religious/spiritual beliefs, such as your way of coping with cancer and whether you have focused on religion/spirituality or other strategies in order to stop worrying. You will also be asked whether you feel religious/spiritual beliefs are important in your everyday life, how hopeful you may feel, and the level of spiritual pain you may feel. (Some people experience spiritual pain as a deep pain in the "soul" or "being" that is not physical pain.) The last questionnaire asks about any symptoms of anxiety or depression you may feel. In total, these questionnaires should take about 40 minutes to complete. Length of Study Participation: After completing the questionnaires, your participation in this study will be over. This is an investigational study. Up to 100 patients and 100 caregivers will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
