Summary

This study looked at how financial problems affect the well-being of hospitalized cancer patients and their caregivers in Turkey. Over 750 patients filled out surveys about their finances, mood, and quality of life. The goal was to understand the link between money stress and caregiver burden, so hospitals can offer better support.
