Coping with the challenges of caregiving: A qualitative exploration of the experiences of family caregivers of children with rare diseases in South Africa.
This study talked to 10 parents in South Africa whose children have rare diseases to understand what challenges they face as caregivers. The parents said they struggle with stress, worry about their children's health, and sometimes feel tired and sad. The researchers want doctors and hospitals to better understand what caregivers go through so they can offer more help and support.
WHY IT MATTERSIf you're caring for a child with a rare disease, this research validates that your struggles are real and documented — and shows healthcare systems need to provide better caregiver support services.
