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.

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.
