Family caregivers' experiences of accessing information from healthcare professionals in heart failure
Findings highlight the difficulites that family carers of people with heart failure experience in accessing, receiving and understanding the information they require. Further research is needed on supporting healthcare professionals to develop skills in appearing accessible within an environment of 'busyness'. Furthermore, investigating strategies which will enable healthcare settings to be more responsive and flexible to the needs of family caregivers is needed.
