The objective of this study is to determine the best set of predictors of psychological disorders, regrets, health-related quality of life, and mental health function among bereaved caregivers of patients with cancer, thereby identifying promising targets for interventions to improve bereavement adjustment. Coping with Cancer is a longitudinal study of patients with advanced cancer and informal caregivers who were enrolled from 2002–2008. Our main outcome measure was bereavement adjustment of 245 caregivers (e.g., depression, anxiety, regrets) six months post-loss. The Structured Clinical Interview of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders determined if caregivers met criteria for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or an anxiety disorder. Changes in health-related quality of life and mental health function from baseline to post-loss were assessed with the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36). Over half the caregivers reported regret about the cancer patient’s end-of-life care; better patient quality of death (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR]= 0.77, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]= 0.67–0.88) reduced the risk of bereavement regret. The incidence of MDD or anxiety among the bereaved caregivers was 12.6% and was less likely for caregivers with better mental health pre-loss (AOR=0.03, 95% CI=0.004–0.25). Better patient quality of death also predicted improved caregiver health-related quality of life (adjusted standardized beta=0.28, p<.001). Do not resuscitate order completion predicted improved mental health from pre-loss to post-loss (adjusted standardized beta=0.29, p<.001). Reducing caregiver distress, encouraging patient advance care planning, and improving patients’ quality of death appear promising targets of interventions to improve caregiver bereavement adjustment.
