Caregiver demographics (age, sex, marital status, occupation, education level, housing condition, relationship with the patient, known diagnosis of anxiety or depression, and Charlson comorbidity index) were collected, as were caregiver understanding of patient's diagnosis and prognosis, perceived patient's distress, frequency of witnessing confusion or delirium of patients in past month, perceived adequacy of psychological support (other than general social support), and perceived anxiety towards patient's approaching death. Caregiver anxiety was assessed using the 7-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7). Caregiver depression status was assessed using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Caregiver psychological well-being was assessed using the 11-item Psychological Well-being Scale for Family Caregivers (PWS-C).
