Exploring the ecology of care: qualitative findings from the Support Network Assessment of care Partners of individuals with multiple sclerosis (SNAP-MS)
Findings highlight the complexity of resource use dynamics among MS care partners. Support for care partners must be flexible to accommodate divergent needs and expectations for support. Future investigations are needed to further understand and recognize broader ecological dynamics affecting care partner support use.
