“…Caregiving family appraisal has a huge impact on caregiver burden in FCG of female cancer patients potentially because they had a positive mindset or positive caregiving appraisal towards cancer caregiving activities so that most respondents reported low caregiver burden. Caregiver burden is subjective and it is related to individual mindset and emotional responses toward the caregiving activities [29]. This reason was supported by a study in different context of Alzheimer disease towards 57 FCG of elderly with Alzheimer which showed that the way to decrease the negative outcomes in FCG was by gaining positive aspects of caregiving, such as: i) dementia experience and condition acknowledgment, ii) a feeling of direction and obligation the care provider role, iii) sensations of satisfaction when the patients was better, iv) dominating abilities to deal with the patients, v) expanded persistence and resistance, vi) developing good implications and humor in the midst of troublesome conditions, vii) relinquishing things, for example, when the patient's characteristics had been lost or individual plan had become ridiculous, viii) fostering a closer relationship with the patients, ix) tracking down help, and x) feeling valuable aiding different caregivers [30].…”

The growing prevalent of female cancer malignancies and the cancer care transition from clinical-based into home-based care have resulted in the growing involvement of family caregiver (FCG) in cancer management. The caregiving activity may be appraised as positive or negative life aspect. Negative family appraisal may result in FCG burden. This study expected to examine the effect of FCG appraisal of cancer caregiving on their burden in community context. This cross-sectional study involved 60 FCG of female cancer patients in five communities of Surabaya. Population was all primary FCG of female cancer patients in Surabaya’s communities. Family appraisal and caregiver burden were measured by questionnaires of family appraisal of caregiving questionnaire for palliative care (FACQ-PC) and caregiver burden inventory (CBI) respectively. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistic and simple linear regression tests. Most respondents were spouses with very mature age (41-50 years old), high school graduated, and working with sufficient income. The majority appraised cancer caregiving activities positively (80.67±16.31) and reported low burden (32.02±12.23). FCG appraisal has a huge impact on their burden (p=0.000). It influences 20.7% variance of burden in this population (R2=0.207).

“…These negative outcomes are associated with several key variables. These variables contain caregivers and care recipients' socioeconomic status, demographic factors, care recipients' type of illnesses, time duration spending in taking care of patients, caregivers' health condition and social support system (7).…”

Background: Caring for the patients with chronic diseases are not an easy task. End stage renal disease is one of the chronic diseases and the patients suffering from these disease needs lifelong hemodialysis treatment. Caregivers of hemodialysis patients encounter lots of pressures in taking care of their loved ones with chronic conditions. It could negatively affect all aspects of their health including their quality of life. Diminish quality of life could increase their pressures or burdens and interfere with the proper patient care. Thus, the present study was designed to examine the characteristics of caregivers and patients undergoing hemodialysis, the caregivers' burden and determine the factors which predict the quality of life of these caregivers. Method: A cross-sectional study conducted in three units of hemodialysis centers in Yangon, Myanmar during May 2019 involving 199 caregivers of End-stage Renal Disease Patients using the self-administered questionnaire for demographic assessment (age, gender, education, occupation, income, marital status, relationship with the patient, extra household works, having children or not), caregiving activities (duration of caregiving, incentive from the patient, caring hours per day) and patients' characters (age, sex, occupation, comorbid conditions). Purposive sampling was used for data collection and Zarit burden interview and WHO QoL BREF in Myanmar version were used to evaluate caregiver's burden and their QOL. Hierarchical linear regression was used to find out the predictors of caregiver's quality of life. Results: The variables which are significant in hierarchical linear regression were caregiver's level of burden (p value < 0.001), caregiver's age (p value = 0.002) and caregiver's monthly family income (p value < 0.001). Caregiver's burden and caregiver's age were negatively affected the quality of life whereas monthly family income is positively affected quality of life. So, the best model to predict caregiver's quality of life was [Quality of life = ?0 + ?1 (level of burden) + ?2 (caregiver's age) + ?3 (caregiver's monthly family income)] where ?0, ?1, ?2 and ?3 were 97.333, (-0.395), (-0.149) and 0.010 respectively. Conclusion: Health professionals and governments should consider the predictors revealed in the findings in dealing with the caregivers and do more research on other different types of caregivers to develop strategies and programs for improving the caregiver's quality of life.
