Article Synopsis
- Family caregivers (FCs) are crucial for home-based end-of-life care, but their experiences in this role are not well understood.
- The integrated community end-of-life support team (ICEST) model in Hong Kong was evaluated to see how it affects FCs, particularly spouses and adult children, regarding caregiving strain, psychological distress, and support.
- The study found that ICEST effectively reduced caregiving strain and depression across all FCs, though spouses reported more negative perceptions and adult children had more intimacy with patients, highlighting the need for tailored interventions for both groups.

- The study found that older age, less education, and not having depression in the past were important factors linked to these feelings of stigma, suggesting ways to help reduce it and encourage people to seek help.*
