Why is it important?
Understanding family resilience is essential because supportive families improve patient care and quality of life. The questionnaire is reliable and valid, making it a useful tool for identifying families who may need extra guidance and for planning interventions to strengthen coping strategies during treatment.
Perspectives
Working on this study highlighted how crucial families are in the care process. I hope this tool helps healthcare providers better support caregivers, ultimately improving outcomes for both patients and their families.
