Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease with increasing incidence worldwide. Having a supportive caregiver has been shown to have a positive impact on patients coping with illness. To our knowledge, patients with IE and their caregivers’ experiences of involvement during illness have not yet been examined in prior empirical literature. The purpose of this study was to explore patients with IE and their caregivers’ experiences with each other during the patient’s illness.
