This article describes the nursing experience in caring for the caregiver by relieving the physical and psychosocial burden of a primary caregiver of a patient in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Data was collected through direct observation and interviews during a two-week period in 2008. Tools used were the Evaluation of Geriatric Depression Scale, Primary Caregiver Burdens Scale and Five Aspect Appraise Interviews. Major nursing problems were 1) physical burdens of the primary caregiver; 2) overload of the primary caregiver role; and 3) insufficient social support system. An individualized multidisciplinary care plan that addressed both patient's medical needs and caregiver's family and social resources improved the continuum of care for the critically ill patient. This experience reflects family-centered care that improved quality, holistic care, continuity and team nursing care.
