Chain-mediating effect of illness acceptance and perceived control on the relationship between family caring and self-perceived burden in elderly patients with breast cancer: a cross-sectional study
The study confirmed that family caring primarily alleviates self-perceived burden by enhancing illness acceptance and reducing negative cancer-related experiences in elderly breast cancer patients. Thus, the assessment of family caring should be integrated into routine nursing practice, and psychoeducational programs designed to promote illness acceptance and reduce negative cancer-related experiences should be implemented.
