Abstract

This qualitative study carried out with 10 Chinese families in Hong Kong describes caregiving and caring from the perceptions of the primary carers. Semi-structured interviews were carried out to gain personal accounts of experiences of primary carers caring for dependent family members. The analysis resulted in categories identifying and explaining the needs of primary carers. Suggestions for practice are made.
