| Core Tip |
Family caregivers of patients with chronic illnesses face increased risks of burden and mental health disorders. Liver transplantation is a therapeutic approach whose benefits extend to family members. When comparing the mental health of caregivers of cirrhotic patients and caregivers of liver transplant recipients, the latter group showed lower levels of burden, stress, and depression, suggesting that the benefits of this procedure extend beyond the patients to their families, and consequently, to society. However, elevated levels of these conditions in both groups underscore the importance of addressing the mental health needs of family caregivers. |
