There is 'no cure for caregiving': the experience of women caring for husbands living with Parkinson's disease

CONCLUSION: Transitioning from wife to caregiver was a gradual but difficult process. Although the wife caregivers wanted to be part of the health care team, they remained outsiders. Clinicians need to recognize the wives as care coordinators linking medical management with home care. Policy makers need to develop reimbursement models that provide wife caregivers with support groups, education programs, and telemental health services.PMID:38657183 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2341989
