worked as a patient care technician in a hospital for 3 years I had the opportunity to see how caring for a loved one can affect the caregiver. This article can be used to determine and understand the level of burden involved in caring for a loved one. The second article explains how the relationship can impact the amount of burden that a loved one feels when caring for their spouse. It also demonstrates the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. This articles gives a better understanding to the adverse health effects that caregivers expose themselves to when caring for a loved one (Reblin et al., 2016). The second article has a personal connection with me because my father was sick for a long time, he was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure, and I watched my mother care for him so much that sometimes she does not sleep until she is sure that my father was comfortable. It affected her health, but she tried to care for herself too. Findings Article one focuses on family care givers, and the burden they face when caring for their terminally ill loved ones. The research in the first article, researched on 89 caregivers over a three-year time. In doing so, data gathered in the study examines caregivers at one the start, middle and end points, targeting points of heightened stress and anxiety. The second article also focuses on the impact of caring for a loved one with terminal illness lke cancer(Reblin et al., 2016). Unlike article one which examines economic, and psychosocial effects of providing care, article two’s focus is the level of stress based on relationship quality. This study was conducted using a cross sectional approach to the 113 participants. In both studies the sample size included caregivers who were related to the patient. Likewise, both studies included people who are caregivers to patients labeled as being terminally ill. As far as the studies conducted by each, both studies took into consideration the demographics for both as well a use qualitative data. For example, article one used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to measures depression (Grunfeld et al., 2004), and the SRI scale used in article two to rate relationship quality (Reblin et al., 2016). Both also collected demographic data using questionnaires. A difference between the two studies is the research type, (Longitudinal and Cross Section). The studies. Another difference is the number of people being studied in each article (89, 113). The health questions are also differing based on the goal of each. In the first article, the goal is to find the effect of the burdens that a caregiver may face over time, while in the second article, the focus here is the link between the quality of a relationship and caregiver health. These studies provides a better understanding into the health quality and potential health risk of caring for a loved one dealing with terminal illness. Some strengths of Article One include, a variety of participants included in the sample population, 55% male, 52% female as well as the research type. Correlation could be made using the starting data and ending data over a three-year time. One limitation though was the number of participants used. Including a larger sample size would add to the validity of the conclusion. While the study is limited in the sample size diversity, a cross sectional study is appropriate.
