Summary
This study looked at whether a combined program of mobile health education and a simple relaxation technique (Benson relaxation) could reduce the burden, anxiety, and depression felt by female informal caregivers of cancer patients in Bangladesh. 102 caregivers took part, with half receiving the six-month program and the other half getting usual care. The goal was to see if this low-cost approach could improve their well-being.
