This study reports on caregiver\u2010reported quality of communication with clinical team members in the postpancreatectomy period and examines associations of these reports with patient and caregiver outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Caregivers of patients with pancreatic and periampullary malignancies who had undergone pancreatectomy were surveyed. Instrument measures assessed care experiences using the Caregiver Perceptions About Communication with Clinical Team Members (CAPACITY) instrument. The instrument has two main subscales: <jats:italic>communication<\/jats:italic>, assessing the extent to which providers helped caregivers comprehend details of clinical visits, and <jats:italic>capacity<\/jats:italic>, defined as the extent to which providers assessed whether caregivers were able to care for patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 265 caregivers who were approached, 240 (90.6%) enrolled in the study. The mean communication and capacity subscale scores were 2.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.6 and 1.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.6, respectively (range, 0\u20134 [higher\u00a0=\u00a0better]). Communication subscale scores were lower among caregivers of patients who experienced (vs. those who did not experience) a 30\u2010day readmission (2.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.5 vs. 2.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.6, respectively; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.047). Capacity subscale scores were inversely associated with restriction in patient daily activities (a\u00a00.04 decrement in the capacity score for every 1 point in daily activity restriction; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.008).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>After pancreatectomy, patients with pancreatic and periampullary cancer whose caregivers reported worse communication with care providers were more likely to experience readmission.
