The relationship between burnout and negative states has been the subject of extensive research. This study analyzes the mediation role of a positive psychological variable \u2013 the quality of the carer-patient relationship \u2013 between psychological distress and informal carers\u2019 burnout. Methods: We recruited Portuguese informal carers of adult cancer patients online ( N = 92) to answer the Quality of Carer-Patient Relationship Scale gauging relationship quality, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales assessing psychological distress, and the Maslach Burnout Interview-Human Services Survey evaluating the dimensions of burnout, depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and reduced personal accomplishment. The cross-sectional data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlations, multiple regressions, and simple mediation analysis. Results: Our results show that psychological distress variables directly affect burnout dimensions, and that relationship quality has a significant indirect effect on each burnout dimension, suggesting that relationship quality partially mediates the association between each distress dimension \u2013 depression, anxiety, and stress \u2013 and each of the burnout components \u2013 depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and personal accomplishment. Discussion\/Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of intervening in informal caregiver mental health and patient-caregiver relationships and encourages further investigation into the dynamics of the studied variables. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1024\/2673-8627\/a000066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]],"date-time":"2024-11-13T11:09:34Z","timestamp":1731496174000},"page":"119-129","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Good Together Makes it Better?"],"prefix":"10.1024","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7648-0333","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Carolina","family":"Blom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CPUP \u2013 Center for Psychology at the University of Porto, Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0986-6092","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ana Catarina","family":"Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servi\u00e7o de Psicologia, Unidade Local de Sa\u00fade de S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CINTESIS \u2013 Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Tecnologias e Servi\u00e7os de Sa\u00fade, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8648-3191","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leonor","family":"Lencastre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CPUP \u2013 Center for Psychology at the University of Porto, Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, University of Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/1980-57642018dn13-040008"},{"key":"c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1533317517691121"},{"key":"c3","volume-title":"A secure base: Clinical applications of attachment theory","author":"Bowlby J","year":"1988"},{"key":"c4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.4081"},{"key":"c5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.5694"},{"key":"c6","volume-title":"Statistical power analysis for the behavioral sciences","author":"Cohen J.","year":"1988","edition":"2"},{"key":"c7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1471301218808607"},{"key":"c8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/jrr.2014.2"},{"key":"c9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3758\/bf03193146"},{"issue":"1","key":"c10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-4560.1974.tb00706.x","volume":"30","author":"Freudenberger H.
