The study was designed as a descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study. The quality of life of caregivers who expressed that they had financial problems was lower than those who did not have financial problems (p<0.05). A moderate negative relationship was found between caregivers’ burden and quality of life (r=-0.312, p<0.001). According to the findings of the study, it was determined that the increase in the care burden negatively affected the caregivers’ quality of life.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle9371472010.5455/medscience.2020.02.016367497
