dc.description.abstractBecause of aging and rising rates of chronic diseases, the demand for palliative care services is increasing worldwide, and patients need family members to care for them throughout the palliative care process. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of the relatives of palliative care patients during hospitalization. This was a qualitative study conducted with 15 family members. A topic guide was used to conduct semistructured face-to-face interviews. Content analysis was used to analyze the textual data. As a result of the analysis, 3 main themes, 6 categories, and 24 subcategories emerged. The main themes were reactions to the admission, feeling obligated to care, and coping processes. The interviews revealed that most participants had misconceptions and a lack of knowledge about palliative care. Almost all of the family members expressed that they experienced various emotions during this process and had trouble coping. The significant finding of our study is that culture and religious beliefs have a considerable influence on caregiving. A limited number of studies in the literature provide detailed insight into the state of patient relatives. Therefore, this study is critical in guiding palliative care professionals in understanding the requirements of this vulnerable group.
