“…It is striking that there was no significant effect of cancer stage, site or treatment. This is in agreement with previous findings [35,21] and emphasises that PTSS experienced by cancer survivors may not consequently be connected to the severity of cancer or to sociodemographic factors. Contrary to previous findings, time since treatment was not associated with reduced PTSS [17,39] .…”

“…These results are not in line with the findings of Posluszny et al (2015) who reported significantly higher levels of PTSD in partners than in patients. Nevertheless, Richardson's findings suggested a similar prevalence rate between HNC patients and their caregivers [21,20]. Further research employing greater sample sizes is needed.…”

“…In newly diagnosed HNC patients, 12% of patients and 29% of partners met criteria for PTSD caseness [19] . Richardson and colleagues (2016) found that 19% of HNC patients [20] and their caregivers [21] met criteria for PTSD six months after treatment. To the best of the authors' knowledge there have been no studies investigating whether cancer-related PTSS exist in long-term HNC survivors and in their partners.…”

“…Cancer and its treatment causes many problems for patients (Otaghi, Hasanvand, Mozafari, & Khorshidi, 2019) and caregivers (Sisk, Kang, Goldstein, DuBois, & Mack, 2019) including psychological problems (Aziza, Wang, & Huang, 2019; Günay & Özkan, 2019). The psychological problems for these patients and their caregivers include care burden, depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) (Jansen et al, 2018; Jasemi, Aazami, & Zabihi, 2016) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Jia, Li, Chen, & Cao, 2015; Richardson, Morton, & Broadbent, 2016).…”

Purpose Cancer is a type of chronic illness that causes many issues for patients and their caregivers, including a wide range of psychological problems. This study was conducted to determine the status and psychological problems of caregivers of pediatric patients with cancer who live in Iran. Methods All articles from 2000 to March 2019 related to the psychological of caregivers and their child's cancer were included in the search. Domestic websites in Iran and international databases were searched. Keywords of the search included child, cancer, malignancy, care burden, stress, anxiety, depression, coping strategies, psychological hardiness, posttraumatic stress, parents, father, mother, and pediatric. The search, data extraction, quality assessment and screening were conducted independently by two researchers. Results In the initial search, 345 articles were extracted regarding the psychological problems of caregivers. After final screening 15 articles were selected; from these four referred to care burden, four articles for coping skills, three articles for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and four articles for stress, anxiety, and depression among carers of children with cancer. Conclusion Considering the existence of psychological problems such as caregiver burden, PTSD, stress, anxiety, and depression in caregivers of children with cancer, it is necessary to provide nursing interventions for this group of parents; particularly interventions that provide the necessary ground for reducing psychological problems and improving caregivers' mental health.

“…The uncertainty related to disease and the family strain have been related to PTSD symptoms in a study on 333 caregivers of hematopoietic cell transplant recipients [52]. Richardson et al [53] found that in 78 caregivers of patients with head and neck cancer, having perceptions of low benefits from treatment and the presence of many patient symptoms, increased the risk of experiencing symptoms of PTSD in caregivers. Another study on 214 adult children caregivers of cancer patients highlighted that the perception of higher patient dependency was associated to higher PTSD symptoms [54].…”

Caregivers of severely ill individuals often struggle to adjust to new responsibilities and roles while experiencing negative psychological outcomes that include depression, anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This systematic review aims to outline potential risk and protective factors for the development of PTSD in caregivers of adult subjects affected by severe somatic, potentially life-threatening illnesses. Twenty-nine studies on caregivers of adult patients affected by severe, acute, or chronic somatic diseases have been included. Eligibility criteria included: full-text publications reporting primary, empirical data; PTSD in caregivers of adult subjects affected by severe physical illnesses; risk and/or protective factors related to PTSD; and English language. Specific sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics, besides the illness-related distress, familiar relationships, exposure characteristics, coping style, and support, were identified as relevant risk/protective factors for PTSD. The review limitations are the small number of studies; studies on different types of diseases; studies with same samples. It is crucial to consider factors affecting caregivers of severely ill adult patients in order to plan effective intervention strategies aimed at reducing the risk of an adverse mental health outcome and at enhancing the psychological endurance of this population.
