dc.description.abstractThis study conceptually contributes to the literature by exploring how post-traumatic growth (PTG) may function as a protective psychological mechanism that mitigates caregiving burden in home-based palliative care contexts. This descriptive study included 175 home healthcare patients and their caregivers. Data were collected using the Sociodemographic Data Form, the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale, and the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory. A significant negative correlation was found between PTG and caregiver burden (r = -0.342, p = .01). Beyond the statistical association, these findings suggest that caregivers who interpret their caregiving experience through a lens of personal development, meaning-making, or strengthened relational perspectives may perceive caregiving demands as more manageable. Thus, PTG appears to operate as a resilience-enhancing process that reduces the subjective strain of caregiving. Strengthening psychosocial support particularly for women caregivers may therefore foster PTG and ultimately lessen caregiver burden while improving the overall quality of home-based palliative care.
