Article Synopsis
- The palliative care approach for older adults in Canada highlights the significant role of informal caregivers in providing support, particularly during end-of-life situations.
- A study was conducted to assess current interventions focused on grief and bereavement for these caregivers, using a comprehensive review of literature and databases.
- The findings revealed three main themes regarding the types, formats, and targets of these interventions, emphasizing the need for more evaluations, caregiver involvement, and increased funding for effective grief support programs.
Informal caregivers are a significant part of the hospice and palliative care landscape as members of the interdisciplinary care team. Despite this, little is known about the impact this responsibility has on informal caregivers' experiences of grief and bereavement.
