Total 60 adults were newly diagnosed with pancreatic, gastric, or gallbladder cancer, completed curative surgery, came to receive preoperative treatment neoadjuvant. A total of three interviews, including two training sessions and a final follow-up, were held with the patients and their caregivers. Results: The examination of the difference between the patients Quality of Life and HADS subscale scores indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the measurements of the general well-being score of patients p 0.05. The examination of the difference between the caregivers mean scores from the overall quality of life scale and its subscales revealed that the psychological and spiritual health status scores varied statistically over time p 0.05. Conclusion: It was planned training positively affected the quality of life, anxiety and depression status of both the patient, the caregivers.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada pankreas, mide ve safra kesesi kanseri tanısı alan bireylere ve bakım verenlerine verilen bireysel eğitimin yaşam kalitesi ve kaygı düzeylerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: Araştırmada öntest-sontest deneysel tasarım kullanılmıştır. Örneklem, çalışmaya katılacak 30 hasta ve 30 bakım verenden oluşmuştur. Hastalar ve onların bakımverenleriyle iki eğitim oturumu ve son bir takip dahil olmak üzere toplam üç görüşme gerçekleştirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların Yaşam Kalitesi ve HADS alt ölçek puanları arasındaki fark incelendiğinde, hastaların genel iyilik hali ölçümleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu görüldü p0,05. Bakım verenlerin genel yaşam kalitesi ölçeği ve alt ölçeklerinden aldıkları puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark incelendiğinde, psikolojik ve manevi sağlık durumu puanlarının zaman içinde istatistiksel olarak farklılık gösterdiği ortaya çıktı p0,05. Sonuç: Planlanan eğitimin hem hastanın hem de bakım verenin yaşam kalitesini, anksiyete ve depresyon durumunu olumlu yönde etkilediği saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, özellikle mide, pankreas ve safra kesesi kanserleri olmak üzere kanser yönetimine bakımverenlerinin de katılımını desteklemektedir. Aile odaklı psikoeğitim ve semptom yönetimi programı, bakım verenin yükünü iyileştirmede etkili olduğu bulunmuştur.
