Caregiver informational support in different patient care settings at end of life.
Home Health Care Services Quarterly 2018 April
Caregivers of the terminally ill face many complicated tasks including providing direct patient care, communicating with clinicians, and managing the logistical demands of daily activities. They require instructive information at all points in the illness process and across several settings where patients receive end-of-life care. This study examines how the setting where a patient receives end-of-life care affects caregivers' informational support needs by thematically analyzing data from caregiver interviews and clinical observations. Caregivers providing care for patients at home received informational support related to meeting patients' mobility, medication, and nutritional needs. Caregivers who provided care remotely received informational support to navigate transitions between patient care settings or long-term care arrangements, including financial considerations and insurance logistics. The findings document that interventions designed to enhance information for caregivers should account for caregiving context and that health care providers should proactively and repeatedly assess caregiver information needs related to end-of-life patient care.
