Abstract
This study explored the caregiving experiences of wives of patients with prostate
cancer. Twenty wives revealed those older, educated, or married longer were
less burdened by caregiving, but needed more information. Findings contribute
new dimensions in caregiving for patients with prostate cancer and their wives.
