The Impact of Home Enteral Tube‐Feeding on the Intent and Experience of Going Out in Public: A Qualitative Study on Patients' and Caregivers' Perspectives
Carers and healthcare professionals are pivotal in encouraging patients to disregard public curiosity, planning tube-feeding logistics, and advocating for the right to tube feed in public spaces without shame. Public awareness, carer support, and availability of tube-feeding facilities should be improved for patients to live, work and engage meaningfully in the community.
