ife 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 associated with caregiving (Grunfeld, 2004). With my little understanding of biostatistics, I believe that with this research information that has been gathered, strategies can be created to help reduce the burden of caring for a loved one on the caregiver. Biostatistics can also help inform the decision of the caregiver in caring for their loved ones. The personal experience that I have is not directly related to my family member, but I 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 e
