      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In the intervention group, follow-up virtual counseling sessions will be held by the researcher for 6 sessions, 1 session per week for 45 to 60 minutes. The content of these sessions includes familiarizing caregivers with the nature of leukemia, taking responsibility for themselves, a healthy diet, sleep hygiene and time management, reducing stress and positive adjustment, improving interpersonal and social relationships, and familiarizing them with sources of social and financial support and specific social networks. Caregiver burden and quality of life questionnaires will be administered one month and two months after the last care session.
