Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical and Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: The mean of family caregiver support for cancer patients was 40.69±12.26 from a range of 15-60. The mean of anxiety in cancer patients was 27.54±6.19 from a range of 13-42. The results showed that family caregiver support was related to the level of anxiety in cancer patients (p=0.002, r=-0.414). It means that the higher the family caregiver's support, the lower the level of anxiety experienced by cancer patients.
Conclusions: Family caregiver support is very helpful in reducing the anxiety level of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
