Caregiving experiences of primary family caregivers caring for family members affected by COVID‐19 during home isolation : A phenomenology study
Abstract During home isolation due to the coronavirus disease, family caregivers assumed the responsibility of caring for infected family members; however, the full extent of the difficulties and challenges they encountered remains unclear. This study applied a descriptive phenomenology approach, using semi‐structured, one‐on‐one, in‐depth interviews to explore the experiences of 16 primary family caregivers during home isolation amid the coronavirus disease. The key themes identified were as follows: (1) protecting family, comprising anxiety over preventing infection and bearing the responsibility of caregiving and a concern about the diagnosis; (2) seeking stability, encompassing the impact of epidemic control policies on daily routines, strategies to overcome obstacles caused by quarantine measures, and gathering resources and receiving support; and (3) reflections on life, including favoring love over discrimination, rediscovering oneself, cherishing family, and acknowledging personal growth and dedication. This study highlights that family members who took on caregiving roles due to obstacles or health risks faced significant pressure to protect their family members during isolation and actively sought professional consultation and acquired caregiving skills to enhance their confidence and adaptability..
