Background: The value of caregivers with respect to ensuring safety during home nasogastric tube feeding is increasingly acknowledged. However, little attention has been given to the experience of caregivers. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design using semi-structured interviews via purposive sampling at a comprehensive hospital in China was employed. Family caregivers of patients with home NGT feeding were recruited. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed qualitatively using inductive content analysis. Results: Thirteen family caregivers of patients with home NGT feeding were interviewed. Four main themes were generated: negative experience , new role: adapting to the lifestyle , perceived benefit of caregiving and expectations . Conclusions: The present study highlights the vulnerability and perceived benefits embedded in the role of a family caregiver. Improving communication and standardising practices between home and hospitals should be considered.收起
