Σύνοψη	The Caregiver Quality of Life Index–Cancer (CQOLC) is a 35-item self-report measure specifically designed to assess the quality of life and burden experienced by family members caring for cancer patients. Developed by Weitzner and colleagues in 1999, the CQOLC captures the multifaceted impact of caregiving—physical strain, emotional toll, disruption of daily activities, financial hardship, and positive adaptation—making it essential for identifying caregiver distress and tailoring support interventions.	The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) is a 20-item self-report measure of spiritual well-being encompassing both religious faith and existential meaning—two dimensions critical to quality of life at end-of-life. Developed by Paloutzian and Ellison in 1982, the SWBS has become a cornerstone assessment tool in palliative care, chaplaincy, and oncology to identify unmet spiritual needs, guide supportive interventions, and evaluate the impact of spiritual care programs on patient outcomes.
