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.
