Numerous studies show that caregivers face significant burdens, which impact their physical, social, and psychological well-being. Female caregivers, often subjected to cultural expectations, face heightened challenges, contributing to higher levels of burden and emotional distress. However, the combined effectiveness of Benson relaxation techniques and mHealth psychoeducational interventions on female informal caregivers of cancer patients remains relatively unexplored.\n\nObjective: This study aims to investigate the combined effectiveness of the mHealth psychoeducational intervention and Benson relaxation techniques to reducing caregiving burden as well as anxiety and depression, and to assess the impact on the quality of life among female informal caregivers of cancer patients in Bangladesh.\n\nMethods: A randomized control trial study will be conducted at the Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College and Hospital in Enayetpur, Sirajganj, Bangladesh. Computer-generated simple random sampling technique will be used to select study participants. The study period will be from April 2024 to September 2024. Data will be collected through face-to-face interviews, employing validated tools such as Zarit Burden Interview, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, and Bangla WHOQOL-BREF.\n\nThe intervention group will receive a combined intervention using self-determination theory (symptom management, maintaining and enhancing relationships, problem-solving, stress and coping, self-care, and effective communication) and Benson relaxation techniques through recorded videos, phone calls, and SMS reminders over six months. The control group will receive only usual care.\n\nThe study ensures ethical practices, obtains informed consent, and prioritizes data safety and confidentiality. Results will be analyzed using statistical methods, which will provide valuable information for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers in the field of cancer caregiving.",[59],"Caregiver Burden",[61,62,63,64,65,29],"Cancer","Caregiver","Care Burden","mHealth Psychoeducation","Benson Relaxation Technique","COMPLETED","2025-11-19",{"date":69,"type":53},"2025-11-26",{"date":71,"type":53},"2024-10-01",{"date":73,"type":53},"2025-03-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
