    Author: Walsh SM, Estrada GB, Hogan N.
    Journal: Medsurg Nurs; 2004 Jun; 13(3):181-9. PubMed ID: 15219167.
    Abstract:
    Medical-surgical nurses are an important source of information and guidance for family caregivers during health care crises. The concerns expressed by family caregivers to nurse interventionists during a supportive and informational telephone intervention are described in this study. An analysis of telephone call content using constant comparison methods identified major stressors of the family caregiver during the illness trajectory.
