Family Caregivers’ Experiences of Living with Hemodialysis Patients: A Descriptive Phenomenology

Caregivers of patients with chronic kidney disease face problems in multiple dimensions and are susceptible to developing new problems.

The expression of caregivers' experiences can help solve the problems they are facing and also helps hospital managers and health planners better plan to solve problems.
