Background: Colorectal cancer is a major health risk globally and ranks among the top causes of morbidity and mortality among cancer patients. The adverse impact experienced by caregivers, such as cancer caring burden, reduced free time, and insufficient rest time, could bring both physical and psychological burdens to cancer caregivers. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the effect of instructional guidelines on perceived social support level and caregivers' burden of patients having colorectal cancer. Design: To carry out this study a quasi-experimental design (pre and post-test one group) was used. Setting: This study was conducted at oncology outpatient clinics at the oncology institution Sohag City. Subject: A convenient sample of 200 (100 colorectal cancer patients and 100 of their caregivers) were enrolled in the current study. Data collection tools: Tool I: Participants’ demographic and disease-related characteristics assessment sheet, Tool II: Caregiver's knowledge about colorectal cancer, Tool III: Caregivers' reported practices, Tool IV: Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI), and Tool V: Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Results: The current study showed that, following instructional guidelines implementation, knowledge, practices, caregiver burdens, and perceived social support ' mean scores were improved with statistically significantly differences
