Quality of life and related factors among cancer caregivers in China.
The present study was designed to investigate quality of life (QOL) among caregivers of cancer inpatients, and to explore the related factors with the long-term goal to improve QOL of cancer caregivers in China. ⋯ Psychological well-being and social concerns of cancer caregivers were disrupted more seriously than spiritual well-being and physical well-being. In addition, spousal relationship, patient's disability, and caregiver's health status could affect the caregiver's QOL.
