Becoming a secondary actor of one’s own life: A qualitative study of the experiences of informal caregivers in the care of people with chronic pain.

Abstract

The physical limitations experienced by people with chronic pain (CP) produce a greater need for care and assistance, most of which is provided by an informal caregiver (IC). Despite the key role ICs play in the everyday lives of individuals living with CP, knowledge about their experiences and needs is limited. We aimed to address this limitation by exploring the experiences of IC of people with CP.
