- Researchers (Taylor et al., 2020) interviewed 14 cancer caregivers about their greatest sources of distress
- Most of the individuals interviewed were romantic partners of cancer survivors
The common sources of distress were:
- Lack of detailed and timely information
- Uncertainty about future
- Role and duties of caregiving
- Lack of family-centered services for patient
- Practical changes
- Impact of distress
