About

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a mortality rate of 18%. The prognosis of lung cancer is progressive and devastating, which may cause patients to experience problems during the treatment and care process. Due to the problems experienced by lung cancer patients, their need for support increases and the care process is provided mostly in the home environment, causing family members to take on important roles as caregivers. Therefore, the resilience of family caregivers decreases and they feel burden.
