Quality of life and appraisal factors of patients with advanced cancer and their family caregivers
Our study highlights the significant impact that advanced cancer has on patients and their caregivers' perceptions, responses to the illness, and QOL. Future interventions may benefit from addressing illness/caregiving appraisals, uncertainty, hopelessness, family support, health behaviors, self-efficacy, and coping strategies. However, further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of interventions specifically targeting these factors.
