Sumario:Providing caregiving to family members with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) can interfere with employment status and have a negative impact on caregivers’ well-being. The qualitative analysis of 13 Canadian employees who were also simultaneously providing unpaid care (carer-employees) identified three themes that highlight work interference, negative impacts on well-being, and workplace culture. The findings call for employers to provide health promotion strategies and a supportive workplace culture that reduce workplace interference while being responsive to the unique needs of carer-employees.
