Research background
When health professionals care for a family member, it can feel like a blessing, a curse, or both. The health professional may know too much information, resulting in them experiencing greater anxiety than a lay carer. Or, they may be a more effective patient advocate, often knowing what questions to ask, about possible treatment options, and how to navigate the health system. The literature has significant gaps in describing methods that can assist health professionals struggling with blurred roles when they experience the illness and death of a family member.
