| Description |
Caring for a patient at the end of their life can be highly demanding and becomes a challenge for caregivers. The participants were recruited using a convenience sampling of ten caregivers who provided the most care to an adult with a terminal illness. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the six steps of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The findings showed that the environmental barriers caregivers had recognized were transportation, insufficient material resources, and remote home facilities. By acknowledging these barriers, healthcare professionals can design and implement therapeutic environments that are clinically relevant toward those most in need.Keywords: Environmental barriers; terminal illness; adult; caregivereISSN 2398-4295 © 2017 The Authors.
