- Abstract
Non-malignant brain tumours have the potential to considerably affect functional outcomes and quality of life, with an associated significant burden for carers. There is a lack of knowledge about the care and support needs of patients with a brain tumour and their carers, in the early period following discharge from initial hospitalisation. The purpose of this study was to understand the early post-discharge support services and care requirements of individuals with brain tumour and their family caregivers between short-term (2 weeks) post-discharge and medium-term (3 months) following hospital discharge.
