Informal family caregiving
O

Caregiver well-being and CHF patient health outcomes

The review highlights that informal caregiving for CHF patients affects caregiver well-being, which may subsequently impact patient health, indicating a need for further research.

Abstract

Caring for a family member with CHF can affect the well-being of those responsible for care, which may have consequences for the CHF patient's health. Further studies are needed to clarify these issues and to examine the role of informal caregivers in the management of CHF in the community.
