Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out at the Department of Oncology, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre, Peshawar, Northwest General Hospital & Research Centre, Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad and Quaid-e-Azam International Hospital in Islamabad, Pakistan from January 2023 to March 2023.Methods: The study comprised 153 Caregivers of pediatric cancer patients aged One month –12 Years using convenience sampling. The PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and Caregiver's Spirituality Scale (CSS-10) were used to collect data. Results: Results of the study found that 81 caregivers (52.94%) had high PTSD, and 96 (62.74%) had high spirituality. Females reported higher PTSD and spirituality than guys. Graduates have more PTSD and spirituality than illiterates and matriculate. PTSD and spirituality had a negative Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. Conclusion: The study emphasizes spirituality as a caregiver's mental health protector. Healthcare practitioners caring for pediatric cancer patients can use the findings to lessen PTSD symptoms by targeting caregivers' spiritual needs. Convenience sampling and self-report measurements decrease generalizability. Future study is needed to investigate the association between PTSD and spirituality in caregivers of pediatric cancer patients.How to cite this: Bashir N, Ain Q, Karim N, Niazi H, Khan MI, Asghar AK.
