Caregivers’ Perceptions of the Impact of Palliative Care: A Qualitative Study

Home-based care relies heavily on caregivers who have very limited time and substantial responsibilities. To improve the caregiving experience and promote equitable, sustainable end-of-life care at home, it is essential to strengthen early PC involvement, improve accessibility (including structured telephone support), and integrate social and labor policies, such as providing respite options, simplifying access to benefits, and protecting caregivers' financial security.

Abstract

Home-based care relies heavily on caregivers who have very limited time and substantial responsibilities. To improve the caregiving experience and promote equitable, sustainable end-of-life care at home, it is essential to strengthen early PC involvement, improve accessibility (including structured telephone support), and integrate social and labor policies, such as providing respite options, simplifying access to benefits, and protecting caregivers' financial security.
