Implication

Mixed-methods study shows high distress and unmet supportive care needs in partners of individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, indicating a need for improved genetic counseling.

Key Points

Partners of individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome report significant psychosocial challenges, including high levels of emotional distress, with 70% affected by distress.
Emotional and psychological needs are prominent, as the majority of partners indicated unmet supportive care needs, focusing on healthcare services and support.
Assessment using validated questionnaires, including the Supportive Care Needs Survey and distress thermometer, revealed critical emotional burdens, particularly fear of progression.
This highlights the necessity for a familial approach to genetic counseling to address the emotional and informational needs of those affected by Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
