- Abstract
The article discusses a qualitative study, which assessed the impact of the problem-solving intervention in the informal hospice caregivers. A thematic analysis of open-ended exit interviews was conducted. The study findings reinforced the understanding of problem-solving interventions and highlighted the importance of using a structured approach, which aided the patient in resolving problems and gaining confidence as well as control. Thus, such studies can enhance existing support services.
