Cancer encompasses a wide range of disorders that may develop in almost any tissue or organ within the human body. This occurs when abnormal cells proliferate unchecked, surpassing normal boundaries to infiltrate other areas of the body or disseminate to multiple organs. Cancer has a profound effect on both the sufferer and the caregiver. Breast cancer sufferers present several obstacles to their caregivers, who are essential in providing physical, emotional, and psychological support along the way. This study utilized an empirical case study methodology to gain a comprehensive understanding of the experiences, challenges, and coping strategies of caregivers for patients undergoing therapy at the Shri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Bangalore, India. The research examines the effectiveness of focused treatments meant to reduce stress and build endurance in the primary caregivers of certain cancer survivors. Recognizing the critical role caregivers play in assisting cancer survivors, this study employs a combination of methods that incorporates both quantitative evaluations and qualitative interviews. The effects of certain treatments, such as mindfulness-based methods, peer support groups, and psychological education, on resilience variables and caregiver levels of stress are tested through implementation and evaluation. The results indicate that after participating in the treatments, caregivers' happiness significantly improved, with lower levels of stress and increased adaptability. These findings underscore the significance of caregiver-specific support programs in resource-limited settings such as Bangalore, offering insights to inform future initiatives and enhance the quality of care for cancer survivors and their families.
