Several factors contribute to caregiver stress, including:
Emotional challenges: Witnessing a loved one's suffering can be heart-wrenching and lead to feelings of helplessness, sadness, and frustration. Physical demands: Assisting with daily activities, managing medications, and attending medical appointments can be physically exhausting. Financial burdens: The cost of cancer treatment and associated expenses can create significant financial strain. Lack of support: Caregivers may feel isolated and unsupported, especially if they lack a strong support network. Time constraints: Balancing caregiving responsibilities with personal and professional commitments can be challenging.
