“…Some categories of this concept, that is, patient-related stress, concern about future, stress, depression and grief, financial and physical problems, family challenges, sleep-related changes, psychological functional problems, loneliness and caregiving pressure are consistent with some research (4,7,8,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). However, two sub-categories, namely, annoying and dysfunctional beliefs and resentment from the relatives are not seen in prior research.…”

“…Therefore, cancer is a familial disease which goes beyond the patient itself (3). The nature and severity of the problems affecting the caregivers are unknown in the developing countries, and such individuals have been called as the hidden patients (4). Hence, screening the needs and psychological pressures among family members of cancer patients is a vital and important matter in all the phases of this disease (5).…”

Background: Cancer is a disease which affects both the patient and family members. Family caregivers of these individuals have been recognized as the undercover patients, the problems and experiences of whom should be evaluated. The present research has been aimed to provide a deep understanding of the experiences and consequences of care in family caregivers of patients with cancer in the terminal phase. Methods: The present research has been conducted by a qualitative content analysis method. The sampling method was purposeful and it was progressed until data saturation. The data were gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews, and then, were analyzed via content analysis. Results: From the total 18 interviews, 413 initial concepts (codes) were obtained. Finally, three main concepts (categories) were extracted after data analysis, including: 1, inhibition; 2, challenges and consequences of care; and 3, supportive-palliative factors. Conclusions: According to the family caregivers' condition in Iran, that is, caring overload, informational and emotional inhibition, and spirituality as a way of alleviation and adaptability, the emergent need for counseling and psychological-socialinformational-spiritual support particular to this culture, seems to be necessary.

In this study, the aim was to examine the effects of caring burdens of family caregivers of cancer patients on their quality of life in the east of Turkey. Data were collected at the Chemotherapy unit of Yakutiye Research Hospital of Ataturk University. Participants were 18 years old and older. The sample included 190 family caregivers who were living in the same flats with the patients during caregiving. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included socio-demographic questions for family caregivers and the Burden Interview, and the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQOLC) Scale. SPSS version 14.0 was used to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics were computed for demographic variables of family caregivers. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the care burden and quality of life, linear logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the effect care burdens have on the quality of life, and logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the effect descriptive characteristics and care-related properties have on the quality of life. The score mean of the burden interview of caregivers was 36.6±11.2; and their score mean of CQOLC was 81.4±17.3. This study concluded that there was a negative relationship between caring burdens and the quality of life (p<0.001); descriptive characteristics, caring-related properties, and caring burden variables were all significant predictors of the quality of life. It is recommended that caregivers are given support by being offered training about providing care.

“…Examples of common psychological consequences of caregiving include distress, anxiety, anger, and depression among others [12][13][14]. Specifically, studies have identified a bi-directional relationship between caregiving burden and psychological distress among patients with various chronic medical illnesses [13,15,16]. Unfortunately, while caregiver burden has been extensively examined in relation to many chronic illnesses [15][16][17][18][19], there appears to be none among caregivers of children with OAT.…”
