A total of 51 caregivers agreed to participate in the study at both time points. We used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey; we compared the data obtained at the two time points using the paired-samples t-test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Caring for someone with a brain tumour had a greater impact on the caregivers\u2019 mental health than on their physical well-being. At time 2, the caregivers\u2019 levels of anxiety and depression and psychological burden were decreased, indicating that they were in a better emotional state than they had been in time 1. However, the mean values in the depression, vitality, and mental health subscales were lower than those in the normative data, indicating that these caregivers had a worse psychological status than members of the normative group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study underscores the necessity of supporting caregivers and monitoring their suffering levels; such suffering can compromise their social and work lives, not only during the disease trajectory but also in bereavement.
