Abstract
In order to explore informal Home-based palliative caregivers’ challenging experiences, this study gives an overview of the need of Home-based palliative caregivers in communities. Dialogs using In-depth interviews (IDI’s) with twenty-five (25) purposively and conveniently selected respondents aged 18 years and over were conducted. They were not professional caregivers but volunteers from within the community attached to health facilities in Ndola. Discussions on global, Africa and Zambian’ situations, and Ndola in particular were included. The findings, using thematic analysis, were lack of supporting resources, inadequate coordination, lack of training, undesirable working conditions and unreliable transport network. The study will facilitate formulation of guiding principles and policies for palliative care practices through recommendations based on results from this study to improve and sustain palliative care services.
