Family caregivers’ experience of caring for patients undergoing hemodialysis: A qualitative study at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Caring for patients receiving hemodialysis treatment burdens family caregivers, impacting their livelihood and resources. Healthcare providers need to build a close working relationship with family caregivers to understand their challenges and needs and help build their coping capacities. Additionally, dialysis service coverage issues such as affordability, accessibility, and availability need to be addressed to reduce the caring burden on family caregivers.
