Findings reveal caregiver health status impacts resilience in family caregivers, suggesting support groups may lessen caregiver burden.
The patient's diagnosis and the caregivers' perceived health status were important determinants of caregiver resilience in Nepal's palliative care context. These results emphasize that routine palliative treatment in Nepal and other low and middle income countries should incorporate routine caregiver health assesments and support. Educational initiatives and support groups tailored to a particular diagnosis can assist caregivers in overcoming the burden of care and build resilience. In addition to community based programs that honor cultural caregiving roles, training healthcare staff to recognize and support caregiver needs may reduce caregiver burden and improve the sustainability of care.
