Purpose: The aims of the study were to explore caregiving burden and quality of life (QOL) and to identify factors affecting QOL of family members of terminal cancer patients from hospice palliative care center. Methods: Survey was performed using structured questionnaires measuring caregiving burden and QOL. To collect data, family members from 6 hospice palliative care facilities were recruited from July to September 2018. During that period, survey questionnaires were distributed and collected and total 140 study respondents participated in the survey. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 23.0 and descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression analysis were performed as appropriate. Results: Caregiving burden and QOL score were 2.83 and 3.23 out of 5 point respectively. Factors affecting QOL were emotional burden (β = -0.35, p <.001), perceived health status (β = 0.23, p <.001), family support (β = 0.23, p <.001), age (β = -0.19, p <.003), economic burden (β = -0.16, p <.020), education (β=0.13 p<.033). Conclusion: Study results suggest that the lower caregiving burden, the higher QOL level of family members of terminal cancer patients. Since QOL of family members was affected by various factors, efforts to promote QOL through alleviating caregiving burden are required.
