According to HAM-D scores, 24% had mild depressive symptoms, while none had moderate or severe depression. All participants were classified as having low suicidal ideation risk. Significant correlations were observed among physical and mental health, caregiver burden, depression, suicidal ideation, and quality of life (p &lt; 0.05). Mental health was strongly negatively correlated with depression (r = \u22120.607, p &lt; 0.01) and was the only significant predictor of depressive symptoms in the regression model (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a0\u22120.511, p &lt; 0.001), explaining 40.5% of the variance.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951526103988_sec4d\">\n                    <jats:title>Significance of results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Mental health was the strongest determinant of depressive symptoms among palliative care caregivers.
