Participants (N=100), were taken in the research from the government hospitals of Lahore, through purposive sampling. The main purpose of the research was to find out the impacts of caregiving in caregivers of burn patients. The measures of the current study comprised of post-traumatic diagnostic scale (PDS; Foa, 1995), self-compassion scale (SCS; Neff, 2003), and depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS; Lovibond, 1995) along with a demographic form such as degree, reason of burn, duration of caregiving. Female participants were taken in the study as it is common in our culture that most of the caregivers are females such as mothers, sisters. The results indicate a positive relationship between symptoms severity and mental health problems in caregivers, while results also revealed a negative correlation of self-kindness, spirituality and mindfulness with depression, anxiety and stress. Findings of the studies helps in highlighting the mental health issues of caregivers while caregiving and the possible solutions of caregiver's problems for improving their mental health.enPost-Traumatic Stress Reactions, Self-Compassion and Mental Health ProblemsMSThesis
