Lived Experience of Caregivers of Terminally Ill Patients With Cancer: A Phenomenological Study at Ocean Road Cancer Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Study findings highlight the fundamental role of caregivers in the care, and illuminate the neglected physical, psychological and social challenges they face amidst health system tensions and conflicting roles. The needs of caregivers should be embedded within cancer care, prevention and control programs, particularly in low-resource settings.
