Abstract:

Objective To systematically evaluate the caring experience of family caregivers of aged patients with multi-morbidity, and to provide a reference for developing individualized support strategies for family caregivers of multi-morbidity patients. Methods Qualitative studies on the caring experience of family caregivers were searched in electronic databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, WanFang, VIP database, and CBM Database. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to August 2022. The literature was evaluated using the Australian JBI Quality Evaluation Criteria for Qualitative Research in Evidence-based Health Care Centres（2016）, and the results were consolidated using an aggregative integration approach. Results A total of 10 studies were included, and 54 clear research results were extracted. The similar research results were summarized into 11 new categories, and 3 integrated results were synthesized. The caring experience has multiple effects on the caregiver’s mind, body and life；caregivers face multiple challenges；caregivers respond positively to maintain a normal life. Conclusion Medical staff should attach importance to the caring experience of family caregivers of elderly patients with multi-morbidity, promote and construct a caregiver support security system, develop personalized support strategies, meet the needs of caregivers, and improve their quality of care and quality of life.
