Abstract

PURPOSE: COPD is the 4th leading cause of death in Canada. Symptoms in later stages can be incapacitating. While COPD patients report concerns about being burdensome to their families, how informal caregivers actually experience this role is unclear. The purposes of this study were to increase understanding of informal caregiver experience in advanced COPD, and to identify potential interventions to enhance this experience.
