“…Caregiver burden is an important concept in the management of chronic and life-threatening diseases, and it is important that parents are regularly evaluated during the caregiving process, their needs are identified and they are supported and empowered in line with these needs (Gill et al, 2021). When the needs of parents are not evaluated and met during the long-term caregiving process (lack of respite care, lack of psychological support, lack of social support and lack of information support), physical symptoms such as loss of appetite, weight loss, chronic pain, fatigue and disruption in sleep patterns and psychosocial symptoms such as depression, anxiety, stress, feeling of guilt, helplessness, anger, fear, restlessness, burnout, decreased self-esteem, social isolation and decreased quality of life develop in parents, which all increase the burden of care (Gill et al, 2021;Johansen et al, 2018;Rost et al, 2018;Wiener et al, 2017). In the literature, it is seen that the factors affecting the caregiver burden in adult oncology caregivers are examined in multiple dimensions (Johansen et al, 2018;Muliira et al, 2019), while the limited factors affecting the care burden of parents in paediatric oncology group are evaluated (Boztepe et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2017).…”
