“…One possible explanation for this is that the high education populations are more likely to have a high expectation of healthy life and family, while the contradiction between cancer reality and their expectation may make them in emotional distress (Demirbag, 2012). Another finding was that patients' symptom has a significant adverse effect on caregivers mental QOL that was consistent with studies of symptom related to cancer in America and Norway (Palos et al, 2011;Valeberg et al, 2013). This finding indicated the importance of symptom management.…”

“…The authors suggest that the elevated levels of anxiety may be related to concerns about the future and fear of loss and loneliness, issues of special relevance to impending death. However, the quality of life and anxiety do not difer signiicantly between caregivers in the palliative and curative stages of the disease, suggesting that both phases are equally stressful and challenging [58] and always include a concern about the future. However, in another study [59], clinically signiicant levels of depressive symptomatology were found, which did not change markedly over time of the disease.…”

Currently, more than 1 in 10 adults living in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development is involved in nonprofessional care of a dependent family member. The main causes of dependence are dementia, followed by other conditions such as cerebrovascular accidents, limb impairment, depression, and vision impairment. Although care provided by the caregiver is crucial to the well-being of the cared person, it can also have negative consequences on the caregiver's emotional state. This chapter aims to describe the psychopathological symptoms experienced by caregivers based on the condition of the person cared for. A bibliographic search was conducted to examine the efects of care on the emotional state of caregivers, distinguishing patients with dementia from those with other conditions. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were the most frequent psychopathological symptoms, both in caregivers of demented and nondemented patients, experienced by caregivers of patients with dementia, cerebrovascular accidents, traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and autism spectrum disorder. In caregivers of patients with bipolar disorder and vision impairment, depressive symptoms were most prominent, whereas anxiety symptoms were common in caregivers of patients with spinal cord injuries. Sleep disturbances were found among caregivers of dementia and schizophrenia patients. Strategies for preventing psychopathological symptoms were provided and the importance of professional support when they occur was pointed out.

“…Douglas ve Dally da kanser hastalarının fiziksel yaşam kalitesi ve bakım vericilerin depresyonu arasında negatif ve orta düzeyde ilişki bulmuşlardır. Hastanın spirituel iyilik halinin, hastanın yaşam kalitesi ve bakım vericinin depresyonu arasında önemli derecede rol oynadığını, bakım vericinin depresyonunu azaltmak için hastanın spirituel sorunlarına odaklanmak gerektiğini vurgulamışlardır 21,23,32 . Frıdrıksdottır ve arkadaşları bakım vericilerin %41'inin depresif belirtiler, %20'sinin de anksiyete deneyimlediklerini, anksiyetenin de kadın bakım vericilerde daha yüksek düzeyde olduğunu saptamışlardır.…”

ÖZETKanser hem dünyada hem de ülkemizde ölüm sebeplerinin başında gelen, uzun süren tedavi süreci gerektiren, hasta bakımının sadece klinikte değil evde de devam ettiği, hastanın olduğu kadar bakım vericilerin de etkilerini ciddi şekilde yaşadığı bir hastalıktır. Hastalığı yaşayan kişinin etkilenen yaşamı kadar bakım vermekle yükümlü kişi ve kişilerin de yaşamları fiziksel, duygusal ve sosyal olarak etkilenir. Bakım vericiler kendi ihtiyaçları ve talepleri ile bakım rolünün sorumlulukları arasında denge kurmaya ihtiyaç duyarlar. Bakım verici kavramı hastalıkla mücadele eden ve fiziksel bakım gerektiren bir kişiye ücretsiz yardım eden kişidir. Hastalığın dönemine, hastanın duruma, bakım süresinin uzamasına göre bakım vericilerin yaşam kaliteleri olumsuz etkilenmekte ve bu etki hastaya verilen bakıma da negatif yönde yansımaktadır. Bu nedenle bakım sürecinin her aşamasında hasta ve
