Challenges and Experiences of Gastrostomy Patients and Their Caregivers: Systematic Review and Meta-Synthesis
The management of gastrostomy care requires a comprehensive strategy that addresses the clinical, economic, emotional, and psychosocial needs of patients and caregivers. Planning such as comprehensive education, emotional support, and financial assistance can improve the quality of life of patients and carers. Future research should focus on developing customized strategies to handle the specific caregiving challenges in this context.
