Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

- measure
- Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI)
- timeFrame
- The scale was filled in the baseline (before the beginning of the nurse-led supportive care), 8th and 12th weeks.
- description
- The ZBI is a measure of caregiving burden developed by Zarit et al. (1980). The Turkish version of this scale has been validated by Inci and Erdem (2018). It consists of 22 items, and responses are recorded on a five-point Likert scale. The level of caregiver burden can be ascertained based on the total scale scores, which range from 0 to 88. Higher scores indicate a higher level of caregiver burden.The Cronbach's α of the Turkish version of this scale was 0.91 in Inci and Erdem (2018) validation study.
