Objective:

To explore and quantify the impact on the quality of life (QoL) of adult family members or partners of persons living with acute or chronic leukaemia.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• Median FROM-16 score was 14; 38% of respondents scored above the critical threshold of 17.
• Acute leukaemia caregivers had a median score of 16, while chronic leukaemia caregivers had a median score of 8, with a moderate-to-large effect size (η2 = 0.122, p = 2.92E−15).
• Higher caregiving hours correlated with greater FROM-16 scores, indicating lower QoL, with large effect sizes in both groups (acute: η2 = 0.130, chronic: η2 = 0.232).

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• The study utilized convenience sampling, which may limit the generalizability of the findings.
• The reliance on self-reported measures may introduce bias.
