Caregiving burden, receipt of palliative care, and the use of bereavement support: secondary analysis of population-based data
Subjective experiences such as grief intensity and being present at the moment of death are associated with the need for formal bereavement support, raising the issue of continuity of care for family carers into bereavement. Further research is warranted to better understand the complex relationships between caregiving, bereavement, and the role of palliative care in facilitating access to bereavement support.
