Mediating role of self‐efficacy between unmet needs and quality of life in palliative cancer caregivers

Abstract

The findings suggest that caregiving SE may function as a mechanism through which unmet support needs influence mental HRQOL in family caregivers of palliative cancer patients. Healthcare providers should consider developing supportive care interventions to improve caregivers' HRQOL by incorporating effective strategies to enhance SE and reduce unmet needs for this population.
