During my thesis, I had the opportunity to work closely with family caregivers of cancer patients. This allowed me to meet these individuals and hear their stories filled with suffering. A large part of their complaints centered on the lack of information and training necessary to properly care for their ill relatives. Often, they find themselves responsible for a patient at home without possessing the required skills, sometimes knowing only the dosage of treatments to administer. This lack of training can lead to serious complications, such as bedsores in immobile patients or urinary infections. This experience underscores the critical need for comprehensive caregiver education in Morocco, a country where family caregivers play a crucial role in oncology care, especially in home-based support. To achieve this, the government, health care professionals, and NGOs must collaborate to develop accessible educational programs that equip caregivers with the necessary skills and knowledge.
在撰写论文期间，我有机会与癌症患者的家庭护理人员密切合作。这使我得以结识这些人，并聆听他们充满苦难的故事。他们的大部分抱怨都集中在缺乏妥善照顾患病亲属所需的信息和培训上。通常，他们发现自己在家中照顾病人，却没有具备所需的技能，有时只知道要给予的治疗剂量。这种培训的缺乏可能导致严重的并发症，如行动不便患者的褥疮或尿路感染。这段经历凸显了摩洛哥全面开展护理人员教育的迫切需求，在这个国家，家庭护理人员在肿瘤护理中，尤其是在家居护理支持方面发挥着至关重要的作用。要实现这一点，政府、医疗保健专业人员和非政府组织必须合作，制定易于获取的教育项目，使护理人员具备必要的技能和知识。
