What individual needs do family caregivers have in palliative home care and how are they supported? A qualitative study of a supportive intervention
The study stresses the importance of addressing both practical and psychosocial aspects of caregiving, utilising a person-centred approach. Nurses provided comprehensive support mostly directly delivered during their contact with FCGs. CSNAT-I demonstrated flexibility, accommodating the diverse needs of FCGs in different situations, and may contribute to a more supportive care environment.
