description As the number of patients with hemodialysis (HD) continues to increase, so too does the number of people depending on caregivers. There is need to pay attention to the lives of caregivers of patients with HD, where sacrifices are forced. This study systematically reviewed and synthesized qualitative studies that explored the experiences of caregivers caring for patients with HD using the meta-synthesis method. We searched literature using four databases (i.e., PubMed, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science), and finally ten publications were selected. Four themes and nine subtopics were derived from analyzing and synthesizing the research results. The synthesized themes were: “bearing the burden of life as a caregiver,” “reconstructing life to maintain hemodialysis”, “the fading of caregiver’s own life,” and “effort to relieve the burden.” The results of this study can contribute to the development of interventional studies to improve the quality of life of HD patients. These studies provide an integrated and in-depth perspective on the experiences of caregivers who care for HD patients.
