An informal or primary caregiver is an individual in a cancer patient's life that provides unpaid assistance and cancer-related care. Caregiving is defined as the processing of assisting someone who cannot care for themselves, which includes physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Due to the typically late onset of cancer, caregivers are often the spouses or children of patients, but may also be parents, other family members, or close friends. Taking care of family members at home is a complicated experience. The relationships involved constantly shift and change, in expected and unexpected ways. The expected or expected changes can negatively affect physical health, emotions, social life, and spiritual well-being of the caregiver. Informal caregivers are a major form of support for the cancer patient because they provide most care outside of the hospital environment. This support includes:Physical support: management of side effects and late effects of treatment and assistance with personal tasks such as bathing.
Emotional support
Financial assistance: helping cover the expenses associated with cancer treatment
Practical assistance: treatment monitoring, assistance with decision making and assistance with non-personal tasks such as grocery shopping
Spiritual support
