Applying Pearson’s rank correlation and multiple regression The research findings, Education, interpersonal patient, family caregiver relationships, and social support were found to be statistically significant positive correlates of palliative care health literacy among family caregivers, predicting 24.8% (R2 =.248 df = 4 F = 8.335 p<.05). And both Education and social support could predict palliative care health literacy (β = .230, p < .05 และ β = .364, p < .001 respectively)
