AbstractIntroduction: Family members play a central role in end-of-life care for their loved ones,both at home and in hospital settings. Palliative care for cancer affects not only the patient butalso the lives, emotions, and health of their relatives.Aim: The aim was to describe family members’ experiences of palliative cancer care.Method: A literature review with a qualitative, descriptive design. The databases PubMed andCINAHL were used for the literature search. Ten articles were selected and reviewed usingthe quality assessment tool from the Swedish Agency for Health Technology Assessment andAssessment of Social Services. The results were analyzed using a method described byFriberg.Results: The findings are presented in four themes: Psychological burden, Need for supportand relief, Communication and information are crucial, and Preparations for death.Conclusion: The study shows that when family members are involved in the care of a lovedone, they often experience psychosocial stress. When support was provided by healthcareprofessionals and other relatives, the caregiving burden was eased. It is crucial that nurseswork in an ethically sound and person-centered manner, using clear and direct communicationand providing information to reduce the suffering of relatives.Keywords: family member, patients with cancer, family, experiences, palliative care
