Factors related to good death from the perspectives of informal caregivers of cancer patients: a systematic review

Achieving a good death is a unique experience, and the perspective of informal caregivers of cancer patients is particularly valuable due to their ongoing involvement in patient care. These caregivers offer insights they have gained from supporting and continuously observing patients throughout the illness trajectory. A comprehensive approach including comfort and support factors can be effective in achieving a good death at the end of life in cancer patients. Planning should focus on comfort and support factors to achieve the patient's end-of-life preferences and to deliver specialized end-of-life care, taking into account the unique understanding that informal caregivers develop through their sustained caregiving role.
