Examined the paths among cancer patients' physical and mental health and the reactions and mental health of their family caregivers. Data for these analyses came from a cross-sectional sample of the cancer patients who were recruited through ambulatory outpatient chemotherapy units, and their family caregivers. Patients' depression was explained largely by their symptomatology and, to a lesser extent, by loss of mobility. Patients' physical limitations impacted caregivers' daily schedules but not their physical health. Patients' levels of depression were related to those of their caregivers. However, caregivers' optimism proved to be a significant predictor of their mental health and reactions to caregiving.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
