- W2795145770 abstract "ContextIn sub-Saharan Africa, late diagnosis with cancer is common. Many dying patients rely on family members for care; little is known about the challenges African informal caregivers face.ObjectivesTo better understand the challenges of informal caregivers at the end of life in South Africa, both at home and in inpatient facilities.MethodsWe included advanced cancer patients and caregivers from a public hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. Study nurses interviewed patients and caregivers about their experiences. Using univariate and multivariate analyses, we determined the factors associated with greater caregiver difficulty, focusing on patients dying at home vs. in inpatient facilities.ResultsAmong 174 informal caregivers, 62 (36%) reported “a lot” of challenges. These caregivers struggled most with keeping the patient clean (16%) and with patient interactions (34%). Symptoms associated with greater difficulty included pain (odds ratio [OR] 2.4 [95% CI 1.2–4.7]), urinary incontinence (OR 2.3 [95% CI 1.1–4.9]), fecal incontinence (OR 2.4 [95% CI 1.0–5.7]), insomnia (OR 2.9 [95% CI 1.3–6.9]), fatigue (OR 6.3 [95% CI 1.8–21.6]), extremity weakness (OR 2.9 [95% CI 1.3–6.9]), shame (OR 4.2 [95% CI 1.5–12.0]), and sadness (OR 2.3 [95% CI 1.1–4.8]). Caregivers of patients dying at home reported the greatest difficulty with patients' physical symptoms; caregivers of those dying in facilities reported the greatest difficulty with emotional symptoms.ConclusionInformal caregivers of patients dying at home reported challenges with practical functional care; this effect was reduced in the inpatient setting. Skills training for these caregivers could relieve some of this burden." @default.
