The role and perception of the caregiver in a specialized pediatric palliative care center in medicine preparation and administration: a survey study
Many caregivers of pediatric palliative care patients frequently have trouble planning, preparing and delivering pharmacological therapy to their children. Attempting to simplify medication regimens, choosing formulations that are simpler to administer and measure, investing in improved caregiver training, talking about therapies with carers, and involving clinical pharmacists to clarify their doubts could be all potential strategies to improve this condition and reduce their burden.
