Scoping review synthesizes associations between sociodemographic factors and caregiver wellbeing in cancer, indicating the need for equity-focused strategies.
Key Points
Caregiver wellbeing in cancer care is significantly influenced by sociodemographic disadvantages, often leading to poorer mental health outcomes.
Statistically significant associations were found between low income, limited education, and high psychological distress among caregivers of cancer patients.
Assessment involved systematic literature review according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines across multiple cancer types and caregiver characteristics.
These findings emphasize that cancer care support must account for social inequalities to improve caregiver wellbeing in diverse contexts.
