“…This study revealed that cancer patient caregivers experienced a remarkable burden of care. This result is similar to previous studies that indicted cancer survivors' caregivers endure a moderate to high level of burden of care [15,16,19,27]. So, cancer patients' caregivers as a neglected group need more attention.…”

“…A worrying result was that the sleep quality of cancer patients' caregivers is not desirable and most of them suffered from poor sleep quality. Sleep disturbance is a common problem within cancer patients' caregivers so that using similar tools, Wong et al [15] Lee et al [33], and Al-Daken et al [19] reported PSQI scores of 8.50, 9.09, and 9.1, respectively. These ndings indicate that the sleep quality of these caregivers is remarkably disturbed.…”

“…Sleep quality is one of the most important aspects of life that may be affected by burden of care and most of the cancer patient's caregivers complain of poor sleep quality. Previous studies showed that there is a signi cant relationship between burden of care and sleep quality; as an increase in the burden of care reduced the sleep quality of the caregivers [15,19]. Poor sleep quality can lead to several physical and psychological problem including psychiatric disorders, irritability, disturbed or negative thoughts, decreased concentration, poor decision-making, low motivation, cardiovascular diseases, immunode ciency disorders and memory impairment [20].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the burden of care and its relationship with sleep quality of cancer patients’ caregivers.Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in a referral center of cancer in Zanjan, northwest of Iran. 135 caregivers of cancer patients were recruited through convenience sampling method. The data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, Novak and Guest’s caregiver burden inventory and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The mean (± SD) age of the participants was 39.71 (± 10.74) years. The mean (± SD) burden of care and sleep quality of the participants was 45.22 (± 17.75) and 8.88 (± 4.21), respectively. It was found that there is a significant positive relationship between burden of care and quality of sleep scores (r = 0.65, P < 0.001).Conclusion: cancer patients’ caregivers endure a remarkable burden of care and their sleep quality is undesirable. Results indicated that an increase in the burden of care reduces the caregiver’s quality of sleep. High burden of care and poor sleep quality may reduce the quality of the provided care that increase the costs and weakens the disease prognosis. According to the study results, reducing burden of care is an effective strategy regarding improving the caregivers’ quality of sleep that can improve the quality of provided cares by caregivers.

Background Few studies have focused on patients' emotional distress with end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and their main family caregivers. Methods Cross-sectional data about emotional, functional, and burden-related variables were collected from 85 patients with end-stage COPD and their 85 respective main family caregivers to determine the variables that could predict their emotional well-being. Descriptive analyses, comparison of means, hierarchical regression models, and comparative quali-quantitative analyses were carried out. Results Data show that the great majority of patients with COPD spend years with this diagnosis, and have been admitted to the hospital several times in advance stage of illness the previous year of the moment of end-of-life stage. Furthermore, only a tiny percentage of the patients were functionally independent in the advanced stage of illness. Conclusions The emotional distress and the burden of the family caregiver play an essential role in the distress of the patient, in conjunction with the patient's own functional independence and the time living with the disease, and comorbidity. On the other hand, variables of the patient, such as time since diagnosis, number of hospital admissions, comorbidity, functional dependence, and emotional distress, play an important role in the family caregiver's emotional distress and burden. Understanding how these variables are related is key to designing appropriate programs to reduce the emotional distress the patients with COPD at the end of life and their family caregivers.
