It is concluded that there are many obstacles to assessing the needs of a caregiver or patient that may include: lack of clarity about best prac-tices needed to identify needs; Identifying possible levels of performance in every need; Measuring the importance of needs; The correlation of needs assessment with satisfaction and quality of life, and the complex relationships between needs themselves; The extent of the use of needs assessment data when designing care programs; The efforts made to evaluate and follow up on improvement. The assessment directed to uncovering the needs of caregivers for cancer patients should focus on the following three dimensions: the experience of total sabo-tage in life, the extent to which the positive outlook remains, and the attempts made to keep alive. It is recommended that Further research is needed to evaluate outcomes and determine educational approaches that will produce positive changes in nurses' attitudes toward, knowledge of, and application of complementary therapies.
