Brief summary
In geriatric oncology, caregivers are submitted to a risk of exhaustion. To investigate the clinical risk factor of exhaustion, the researchers propose to conduct a prospective observational study during 6 months phone follow up of the caregivers. The recruitment will take place during the oncogeriatric assessment consultation.
Detailed description
The primary purpose aim to describe the caregiver of patient with 70 years old or more, suffered from cancer and for which a treatment is planned, along with their long term evolution. The secondary purposes are to : * Assess the exhaustion level felt by this caregiver * Assess the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition * Relate factors associated to the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition during patient chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment
Interventions
OTHERPhone nursing follow-up
From the day of geriatric cancer patient's consultation, nurses will identify caregiver and will follow them by phone (caregiver) during 6 months

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Standard collection of caregivers support frequency | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The caregivers support frequency will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks. |
| Standard collection of economic caregivers features | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The economic features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks. |
| Standard collection of physical health caregivers features | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The physical health features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks. |
| Standard collection of psychological health caregivers features | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The psychological health features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks. |
| Standard collection of sociodemographic caregivers features | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months. The sociodemographic features will be reported during this period, depending on patient disease and caregiver tasks. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The exhaustion level felt by caregiver is assessed with Mini-Zarit scale | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months |
| Medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition is assessed with Mini-Zarit scale | 6 months | An exhaustion is noticed when caregiver score is ≥ 2 on Mini-Zarit scale. However, the medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition is also assessed with an increasing of 2 points from caregiver baseline score on mini-Zarit scale. subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months |
| Factors associated with medium delay of caregiver exhaustion apparition are determined with caregiver and patient features | 6 months | subjects will be followed for the duration of patient treatment and follow-up in geriatric department, an average of 6 months |
