Care burden for people with palliative needs in rural Nepal: mixed method study
Primary caregivers in rural Nepal are predominantly women who experience multidimensional burden, with limited information and formal support. Palliative care services should recognise and respond to caregiver needs, building on family and community resources and empowering caregivers within primary care-based models of palliative care.
