This additional responsibility may cause caregivers to feel burdened, resulting in a poor quality of life.

A structured interview schedule was used to collect sociodemographic data from participants. The caregiver burden and quality of life were assessed using the Zarit Burden Interview and the World Health Organization (WHO) Quality of Life (QoL) BREF scale.
