A diagnosis of cancer affects not only the patient but also their significant others, especially when a lot of care tasks are involved. Some caregivers perceive the care as a burden, while others consider it a challenge. In this article, findings concerning the impact of cancer caregiving on informal caregivers will be described. No consistent results are reported, and little is known about patterns of caregiving changes in relation to the course of the patient's illness. Attention will be given to factors which have been identified as influencing the course and consequences of caregiving. These factors form the basis of a conceptual research model for caregivers of cancer patients. As cancer progresses, care tasks are generated, which can be perceived by the caregiver as either negative (i.e. burden) or positive. Furthermore, these caregiver experiences may lead to negative as well as positive effects on the caregiver's health and these relationships can be assumed to be bidirectional.
癌症诊断不仅会影响患者，还会影响其重要他人，尤其是当涉及大量护理任务时。一些护理者将护理视为负担，而另一些人则将其视为挑战。本文将描述有关癌症护理对非正式护理者影响的研究结果。目前尚无一致的结果报告，对于与患者病程相关的护理变化模式也知之甚少。将关注已被确定为影响护理过程和后果的因素。这些因素构成了癌症患者护理者概念性研究模型的基础。随着癌症的进展，会产生护理任务，护理者可能将其视为消极的（即负担）或积极的。此外，这些护理者的经历可能对护理者的健康产生消极和积极的影响，并且可以认为这些关系是双向的。
