Quality of life and burden in family caregivers of advanced cancer patients in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: results from a single-centre study
This is the first study in Luxembourg to assess burden and QoL of FCs of patients with advanced cancer. Findings demonstrate a strong association between increased caregiver burden and lower QoL. The questionnaire was highly accepted by the FCs. Regular assessments of caregiver burden and tailored support interventions by healthcare professionals are recommended.
