Campbell, K. (2008). Experiences of rural women who have cared for their terminally ill partners. In Jean Ross (Ed.), Rural nursing: Aspects of practice (pp. 166-178). [Dunedin]: Rural Health Opportunities.
Abstract: This chapter firstly offers background information in relation to palliative care and the role of women as providers of care in the home setting. Secondly, it discusses a study that evolved from a trend the author observed as a district nurse providing community palliative care in rural New Zealand and from New Zealand literature; that the majority of carers of the terminally ill in home-settings are women. The aim of this research study was to offer insights into the requirements of caring for a dying person at home and provide information to assist nurses working in the community and other women who take on the caregiver's role.
