This cross-sectional study aims to assess the prevalence of depression among primary caregivers of breast cancer patients within low-resource country like Pakistan. Caregiving for individuals with breast cancer can be physically and emotionally demanding, often leading to psychological distress, including depression. However, there is limited data from low- and middle-income countries, including Pakistan, where caregivers may face additional socioeconomic and systemic burdens. This study seeks to quantify the burden of depression in this population and explore associated sociodemographic and caregiving-related factors. Findings will help inform psychosocial support strategies and interventions to improve caregiver well-being in resource-constrained environments.
