Key Points

The research aimed to evaluate a culturally adapted psychoeducational intervention for family caregivers of children with hematologic malignancies.
116 caregivers were randomized, with 90 completing all assessments.
The intervention group received a 4-week psychoeducation program led by medical social workers.
Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at a 48-day follow-up.
Caregivers in the intervention group had greater reductions in depressive and post-traumatic stress symptoms post-intervention.
These symptom reductions were maintained at the follow-up assessment.
A delayed reduction in caregiver burden was observed, with significant differences emerging during follow-up.
