Caregiver burden and caregiver quality of life as measured by the Caregiver Quality of Life-Cancer Index
时间窗: Up to 1 year
Univariate analyses will be performed to test differences in the Caregiver Quality of Life-Cancer Index (CQOLC) total score and score of each domain (burden, distinctiveness, positive adaption, and financial concern) across categorical variables (analysis of variance \[ANOVA\]), and simple linear regression will be used to test association of CQOLC total score with continuous and categorical variables.
