The Impact of Home Infusion Therapies on Caregivers
1Clinical Nurse Specialist Ascension At Home-Wisconsin.
Objectives:
To describe the scope of home infusion therapy in cancer care, expectations related to caregiver involvement in home infusion therapy, literature addressing the impact upon caregivers, and nursing implications.
Data Sources:
Published data on cancer care and home infusion therapy.
Conclusion:
While the administration of home infusion therapy is not uncommon practice for patients with cancer and is generally well-accepted, there is scant research focused specifically on the impact upon caregivers.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
Caregiver support not only includes providing instruction in infusion-related tasks but also recognizing the potential impact on the caregiver's life and offering supportive interventions.
