Abstract

AbstractMany studies pointed out that psychological pain is not limited to the cancer patients themselves, but their caregivers also experience different levels of psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress. This article attempts to review the mental health status, assessment tools, and psychological interventions of the caregivers of cancer patients, and calls on social and medical workers to pay attention to the mental and physical health status of the caregivers of cancer patients.
