Background: When there is limited access to primary care or end-of-life services for patients with chronic diseases, caregivers often need to bring their loved ones to emergency departments (EDs) to solve or control distressing physical and psychosocial-spiritual problems. There is limited literature about the experiences of primary caregivers of patients with nononcologic chronic diseases who are at the end of life and are evaluated in EDs in Latin America.
Methods: We conducted in-depth interviews with primary caregivers of adult patients with advanced and terminal chronic nononcologic diseases who were evaluated in the ED of a hospital in Lima, Peru.

Article Synopsis
- * The paper presents a case study from North Macedonia where healthcare professionals sought help from uninvolved adult daughters to relieve an overburdened family caregiver, grappling with whether this was appropriate or excessive pressure.
- * The analysis concludes that the ethical conflict arises primarily from the state's failure to provide formal care services, suggesting that the healthcare professionals' actions were less ethically questionable than the lack of support from the government.

Background: Mortality among people with dependency to perform basic activities of daily living (ADL) is higher than that of non-dependent people of the same age. Understanding the evolutionary course and factors involved in non-institutionalized ADL dependency, including the influence of the family structure that supports this population, would contribute to improved health planning.
Methods: A longitudinal study carried out in the ADL-dependent population of the Orcasitas neighborhood, Madrid (Spain), between June 2020, when the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown ended, and June 2023.
