Brief Summary

While previous Egyptian studies concerned to the quality of life of cancer patient, up till few available studies include their caregiver and we appreciate their role and efforts in cancer patient wellbeing so we are trying to explore some points of quality of their life. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the Quality of life of caregivers of cancer patients. Identifying, outlining, and integrating the factors associated with cancer patients' caregivers' burden and Quality of life will be critical for policy formulation to mitigate those factors and improve the lives of both patients and caregivers.
