Primary caregivers of family members undergoing palliative care provide significant care, and as a result, their quality of life may be adversely affected. A systematic review was conducted to synthesize the evidence on caregiver’s quality of life. Pubmed database and the digital library of the Universidad Católica Argentina were used. Thirteen articles were reviewed that addressed the following topics: general quality of life, impact on physical, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions, relationship between caregiver gender and quality of life. It is evident in the literature reviewed the importance of an adequate assessment of signs and symptoms in family caregivers in order to provide comprehensive assistance to promote their quality of life.
