End-of-life care at home: Dignity of family caregivers
CONCLUSION AND FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The dignity of family caregivers was closely tied to being seen as unique individuals, not merely caregivers, thereby requiring healthcare professionals (HCPs) to understand their personal needs. This study highlights the emotional distress and loneliness family caregivers feel in their dual role within the healthcare system, thereby calling for HCPs to adopt an attitude of gentleness and recognition to impart dignity-preserving care in homecare practices.PMID:38587469 | DOI:10.1177/09697330241241773
