Abstract: The diagnosis of cancer not only affects the person who suffers from it, but also very directly affects their environment and very particularly the main caregiver. The objective of this study is to investigate how the psychological variables Resilience and Spirituality correlate in their three dimensions (intrapersonal, interpersonal and transpersonal), in primary caregivers of adult cancer patients, in a sample composed of 30 people who exercise or have recently served as caregivers of these patients, with an age range of 20 to 73 years. The instruments used to conduct the research were The Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRC-S), to evaluate Resilience and The SECPAL Spirituality Group Questionnaire (GES), to evaluate Spirituality. The results of the research confirm the positive relationship between the study variables, being of greater relevance in the Intrapersonal dimension of Spirituality. Therefore, the need to promote this line of research, to analyze whether the enhancement of these variables would lead to an improvement in the perception of quality of life of the main caregiver of cancer patients.
