In turn, palliative care professionals have developed ways to share their respective experiences and a number of representative worldwide groups have emerged. These groups have become increasingly involved in advocacy and awareness-raising activities on behalf of the sector, using rights-based arguments and a public h…
Stressors and Resources of Caregivers of Patients With Incurable Progressive Illness in Sub-Saharan Africa

Yet although supporting caregivers requires a comprehensive understanding of caregiver burden, there has been little research into this topic in Africa. Using the Stress Process Model to investigate the burden experienced by caregivers in South Africa and Uganda, we interviewed 37 caregivers and analyzed the data thematically. Caregivers' primary stressors related to day-to-d…
