Sociodemographic information of the caregivers and information about the cancer diagnosis of the patients were recorded. The anxiety level of the caregivers was assessed with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), hopelessness level with the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and quality of life with the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQOL-C).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    There was no statistically meaningful difference between the caregivers of patients with and without lymphedema and the control group regarding anxiety (p=0.818). The hopelessness level was higher in caregivers of patients with lymphedema compared to healthy controls (p=0.011). No statistically meaningful difference was found in CQOL-C burden, disruptiveness, positive adaptation, or financial concerns subscales in caregivers of patients with and without lymphedema (p=0.697, p=0.209, p=0.823, p=0.855, and p=0.257, respectively). Continuous caregiving was negatively associated with the total CQOL-C score in caregivers of patients with lymphedema (p=0.031). Complex decongestive therapy was negatively associated with high BAI and BHS scores (p=0.038 and p=0.034, respectively).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Lymphedema has a negative impact on hopelessness, while complex decongestive therapy has positive effects on anxiety and depression.
