The objective of this study was to develop a Support Program for the Families of the Deceased that can give a positive meaning to the surviving family members who had experienced providing end-of-life care to terminal cancer patients.
An interview was conducted with five family members of deceased patients who had experienced providing at-home nursing care to a cancer patient as they explained it during the meaning of caregiving research we conducted. An analysis of the obtained data qualitatively and inductively showed the impact upon the family members of the deceased meaning the nursing experience positively.
