Study Description

Brief Summary: Primary Objective: -To examine the association between self-rated spirituality/religiosity and coping strategies (Brief RCOPE, Brief COPE, SBI-15R) among palliative care patients. Secondary Objectives: * To examine the associations between self-rated spirituality/religiosity and physical (ESAS) and psychological symptom reports (HADS), and quality of life (FACIT-sp) among palliative care patients. * To examine the association between patient's self-reported spirituality/religiosity, and primary caregiver distress (HADS, PSQI, CQLS-C, caregiver self-assessment questionnaire, FACIT-sp). * To determine the frequency (self-rated spiritual pain scale when score is more or equal than 1 in the scale 0 to 10) and intensity of self-rated spiritual pain in the palliative care setting and to explore the association between spiritual pain, and negative religious coping (Brief RCOPE), physical (ESAS) and psychological symptoms (HADS), and primary caregiver distress (CQLS-C, caregiver self-assessment questionnaire). * To examine the association between primary caregivers' spirituality/religiosity (Appendix H, first question), religious coping strategies (Brief-RCOPE) and psychological and family/caregiver distress (HADS, PSQI, CQLS-C, caregiver self-assessment questionnaire), and caregivers' spiritual pain (Appendix F, second question).

Detailed Description: 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.
