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 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 d
