Objective This study explores the correlation between coping style, quality of life, and illness uncertainty in the family caregivers of patients with liver cancer. Methods Employing convenience sampling, 210 family caregivers of patients with liver cancer who met the admission criteria were selected from a grade A infectious disease hospital in Beijing between January and December 2022. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, Caregiver Quality of Life, and the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale for Family Members. This study analysed the correlations between coping styles, quality of life, and illness uncertainty in these caregivers. Results The study found that family caregivers of patients with liver cancer had average scores for illness uncertainty (83.44 ± 11.86), coping style (33.19 ± 9.79; both positive [23.02 ± 6.81] and negative [10.17 ± 5.05]), and quality of life (169.53 ± 32.46). A negative association was observed between illness uncertainty in these caregivers and positive coping style (r = −0.207, p = 0.003), physical status (r = −0.182, p = 0.008), psychological status (r = −0.200, p = 0.004), and social adaptation (r = −0.229, p = 0.001). Conclusion The study concludes that illness uncertainty in family caregivers of patients with liver cancer is at a moderate level. Furthermore, there is a notable correlation between illness uncertainty, coping style, and quality of life in these caregivers.

“…In recent years, the concept of "whole-course management of HCC" has been gradually integrated into HCC treatment practices and has shown preliminary benefits. Based on existing clinical evidence, the concept aims to develop a scientifically and reasonably comprehensive patient management plan through a multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model for the key links in the treatment process [2] . To better guide the whole-course management of HCC patients, the Chinese Association of Liver Cancer of Chinese Medical Doctor Association has gathered multidisciplinary experts and scholars in relevant fields to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the whole-course management of hepatocellular carcinoma (2023 edition) [3] .…”
