Randomized
Randomization description
Samples will be selected by available method and will be placed in intervention and control groups using random allocation permutation blocks. R software will be used to obtain the blocks. In this way, the control group is marked with the letter a and the intervention group with the letter b, and the size of each block is 4 people, the number of blocks is 31 and the number of possible permutations is 6. Then, from the table of random numbers, 31 random numbers are selected. And we fill 31 blocks of scenarios. For example, if block 1 is baba, from the left, the first person will enter the intervention group, the second person will enter the control group, the third person will enter the intervention group, and finally the fourth person will enter the control group.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Benson Relaxation is taught to caregivers as a intervention in a special room in the chemotherapy and radiotherapy wards to fully learn, then a CD is given to them to do benson relaxation in home twice a day in the morning and evening with at least two hours interval for 20 minutes and continue for four weeks. During the study, three days after the training, the members of the intervention group will be followed up by telephone to ask questions about relaxation and to evaluate stressful events during the study, and it will be repeated every seven days. Then, after four weeks, the care burden questionnaires and coping strategies will be completed again .Benson relaxation is done by asking people to lie down in a quiet environment and in a comfortable position, or to sit on a chair and close their eyes, then slowly relax their muscles from the legs to the face. And at the same time breathe in through the nose and be aware of their breathing, and then say the word "one" silently when exhaling. People are advised not to worry if they do not reach a deep level of relaxation and to allow the relaxation to happen at its own pace, to ignore disturbing thoughts and to focus on saying one exhale at a time. When finished, open your eyes and sit for a few minutes, then stand still (they may open their eyes to check for time while relaxing, without using an alarm).
