Description
Abstract: Oral cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer in the world. The symptoms interfere with the patient's everyday life in numerous physical and mental ways, resulting in psychological issues and a deterioration in life quality. The mental health of these patients' caregivers is also at stake since their obligation to care for them may become a burden. Most patients had a low quality of life and were emotionally upset prior to surgery due to a lack of social-emotional support. A family caregiver offers care to a loved one who is afflicted with a terrible illness, such as oral cancer. In addition to giving physical care, they offer their close relatives emotional and financial assistance. They may include the patient's spouse, offspring, and siblings. This research intends to investigate the psychosocial challenges that oral cancer patients and their caregivers confront. The reviewed literature determined that it is essential to address the psychological requirements of oral cancer patients and that psychological counseling should be incorporated into their treatment plan. Caregiving is a demanding occupation. Numerous studies suggest that special attention should be paid to educating caregivers for oral cancer patients by providing them with enough understanding of the illness process and its implications, as well as counselling services to address the various psychological requirements of the patients.
