title: Reaction to Caregiving by Hospice Caregivers Upon Enrollment.
abstract: Significant research exists demonstrating the challenges faced by informal family caregivers as they care for their loved ones. How caregivers react to this experience, especially in the case of a terminal illness, is less understood. This study explores the reactions of hospice caregivers to their caregiving experience prior to enrollment in hospice and identifies potential stressors associated with those reactions. Results found anxiety to be a significant predictor in the reaction of caregivers to their caregiving experience upon hospice enrollment.
