Exploring Experiences of Pain Management Among Family Caregivers of Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Dementia

The finding underscores the need for further research and the development of interventions aimed at enhancing FCGs' perception of self-efficacy in this crucial aspect of caregiving.PMID:37880855 | DOI:10.1177/10499091231210290
