dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE This descriptive study was conducted to determine the relationship between the care burden, anxiety, and social support levels of the mothers who had children with cancer and affecting factors. METHODS This study was conducted with 43 mothers of children with cancer in a university hospital. Data were collected by the Beck Anxiety Scale, the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. RESULTS The mean age of the mothers was 37.46 +/- 9.67 old years and the duration of cancer diagnosis was 10.57 +/- 12.59 months. The primary caregivers of 83.7% of children were their mothers. It was determined that 76.7% of mothers had a change in their social life after their children diagnosis. There was a positive correla-tion between the mothers' Beck Anxiety Scale scores and the ZBI scores (r=0.508; p=0.01). There was a statistically significant difference between the status of changes in mothers social life and Beck Anxiety Scale (t=4,454; p<0.001) and the ZBI scores (t=3.259; p=0.003). The status of mothers receiving support in household chores (t=0.864; p=0.018) affected their mean scores of ZBI scores. CONCLUSION In this study, as the anxiety level of the mothers increased, the burden of care increased, too. Further-more, the level of care burden was higher for the mothers who had no support in the household chores and who had a change in social life after the diagnosis. The anxiety level of mothers who reported changes in social life after diagnosis was also high.en_US
