However, efficient screening tools to identify ICs at risk of developing clinically relevant psychosocial problems are lacking. Additionally, most existing studies on burden and needs use cross-sectional designs, failing to capture the dynamic and evolving nature of caregiving.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"objective\">\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims (1) to explore the trajectories of ICs\u2019 psychosocial burden and supportive care needs during specialist palliative care (SPC) and factors associated with these trajectories and (2) to validate the 8-Item Screening Tool for Family Caregiver Burden in Palliative Care (CAREPAL-8), an 8-item multidimensional screening tool developed to categorize ICs into clinically relevant risk groups regarding dimensions of burden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective, multicenter, longitudinal cohort study is conducted across 16 study centers in Germany, involving palliative care wards, multiprofessional SPC teams in hospitals, and specialist palliative home care teams. Data are collected upon the patient\u2019s admission to SPC (baseline) and weekly for up to 10 weeks, using validated questionnaires and the CAREPAL-8. Based on a priori sample size calculation, we aim to collect data from 510 ICs at baseline and on at least 1 additional follow-up measurement point. To minimize participant burden, a planned missing data design is used for follow-up questionnaires. Data analyses will include growth mixture models for study aim 1 and determination of convergent validity and sensitivity to change of the CAREPAL-8 for study aim 2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data collection commenced on July 31, 2023.
