    Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the subjective care burden and caregiving reactions of primary caregivers of cancer patients. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 140 primary caregivers of patients receiving cancer treatment in the outpatient chemotherapy and inpatient units of a private university hospital between April 2017 and 2018. Data were collected using the patient and caregiver information form, the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI) and the Preparedness Scale of Familv Caregiving lnventorv. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis was performed to reveal the predictors explaining the dependent variables. Results: The mean score of the caregiver stress index was 4.41 (SD=3.77) and the mean score of the reactions to caregiving scale was 23.15 (SD=12.12). The status of finding the help received in care adequate and the ability to fulfill activities of daily living were found to be the predictors of the caregiver's stress index and the caregiver's reactions to caregiving. Conclusion: In our study, caregivers' subjective care burden and negative reactions to caregiving were found to be low. It was found that the most important predictors explaining the dependent variables were receiving adequate help in care and whether the patient was dependent in activities of daily living. It is recommended that individuals who care for dependent patients are at risk for more care burden and interventions should be planned for this group. In addition, nurses should inform and support caregivers in terms of the importance of the receiving help in the caregiving process.
