years old. With this information, we can imply that age can influence the burden of caregivers too. I also believe that when a caregiver is 65 years old and he/she is caring for their spouse who has cancer, it can be very demanding and stressful because at 65 the caregiver is already dealing with his/her own health issues. When older caregivers care for their loved ones, it can cause them to feel sad or depressed and sick if they are not cared for. Also going by the results on the first article, it stated that in the terminal period, caregivers were depressed more than patients (30% v 9%) and caregivers had a higher level of perceived burden than patients (26.2 v 19.4) (Grunfield, Coyle, Whelan, et al., 2004). Caregivers’ anxiety and depression was higher than the patients, and their burden increased as the patient’s health decreased. In the second article, the result stated that the mean anxiety score for caregivers was 9.89, which fell between the cutoff for general anxiety and clinically anxious. The mean depression score was 5 (Reblin et al., “Spouse cancer caregivers’ burden and distress at entry to home hospice: The role of relationship quality,” 2015).49, which fell about the suggestive score of depression. The caregiver’surden was the most important predictor of anxiety and depression (Reblin et al., “Spouse cancer caregivers’ burden and distress at entry to home hospice: The role of relationship quality,” 2015) Influence of age on the length of stay in the hospital is huge because the age and health conditions of the caregiver will influence the well-being of the patient. With the assistance of biostatistics, numerical knowledge spring from biological, biomedical and health-related studies (Gerstman, 2015) With such knowledge, health professionals and policy makers will perceive the main issue related to caregiving. Biostatistics will offer effective data which will facilitate caregivers understand the need to care for themselves. Article Selection The article chosen was the “Family caregiver burden: results of a longitudinal study of carcinoma patients and their principal caregivers” and “Spouse cancer caregivers’ burden and distress at entry to home hospice: The role of relationship quality (Reblin et al., “Spouse cancer caregivers’ burden and distress at entry to home hospice: The role of relationship quality,” 2015).” Like I previously stated, one of the reasons why I chose my research topic is because of the increase population of cancer patients in Nigeria. The number cancer patients in Nigeria has doubled, and it has given rise to so many false theories about the cause of this cancer or the age range that is affected by cancer. The articles explained the burden that’s concerned in caring for a loved one with cancer. This subject is vital to public health as a result of caregivers role in the life of an individual. The topic of this article talks about the relation of the cancer patient and their family caregivers. It describes the effects of being a caregiver to a cancer patient and how it affects their relationship, health and the financial responsibility involved. The family caregivers are burdened with the responsibility of caring for the cancer patient, and the decision to do this can have its adverse effect on the caregiver too. According to the article, the result of the research that was done was that caring for their loved ones impacted their work because they had to miss work to care for the cancer patient, also paying for the prescription drugs also was a financial burden too. The explanation for this is that Caregivers’ depression and perceived burden increase as patients’ functional status declines (Grunfeld, 2004). Strategies are needed to help reduce the psychosocial, occupational and economic burden as
