Family Experiences, Needs, and Perceptions in Home-Based Hospice Care for Patients With Terminal Cancer: Meta-Synthesis and Systematic Review.

Background: Home-based hospice care offers patients with terminal cancer the comfort of receiving care in a familiar environment while enabling family members to provide personalised support. Despite the critical role families play, the literature remains underexplored in terms of their experiences, needs, and perceptions. A robust qualitative synthesis is needed to inform improvements in palliative care services.

Effectiveness of technology-based psychosocial interventions for improving health-related outcomes of family caregivers of stroke survivors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Integrating participatory ergonomic management in non-weight-bearing exercise and progressive resistance exercise on self-care and functional ability in aged farmers with knee osteoarthritis: a clustered randomized controlled trial.

Background: Ergonomic hazards are the most important cause of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in aged para rubber farmers. Ergonomic management comprising improvement of working conditions and muscle-strengthening exercise has been well documented in terms of workers' health benefit. However, those interventions were not adequate to sustain the advantage.
