The result of cronbach’s alpha and test-retest correlation coefficient, criteria, discriminant and convergent/ divergent validity were satisfactory. Caregivers’ mean quality of life score was quite low.

Caregivers who took care male patients had lower quality of life scores as well. Caregiving, cancer, quality of life.
