Voices of Resilience: Lived Realities and Challenges of Caregivers for Cancer Patients Receiving Palliative Care - A Qualitative Perspective.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the lived experiences of family caregivers of cancer patients receiving palliative care in a hospice setting. Materials and Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted among 15 primary caregivers at a hospice in Chandigarh, India. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth, face-to-face interviews using a pre-validated interview schedule. Colaizzi's seven-step framework was used for data analysis. Results: The study revealed profound emotional, physical, financial and social challenges experienced by caregivers. Seven major themes emerged: emotional and psychological response to caregiving, physical and lifestyle impact, financial struggles, occupational disruption, spiritual and cultural aspects, social support and barriers and knowledge gaps. These reflect the cumulative burden caregivers carry as they navigate caregiving responsibilities in the end-of-life caregiving context. Conclusion: Caregivers of cancer patients in palliative care face intense and complex challenges that require acknowledgement and structured support. Integrating caregiver-focused interventions into palliative care is essential for holistic, patient and family-centred care.
