Nurses can address family caregiver stress by offering emotional support, providing practical assistance, and connecting caregivers with resources. Emotional support includes listening to caregivers' concerns, validating their feelings, and offering encouragement. Practical assistance may involve teaching caregiving skills, suggesting time-management strategies, and helping to arrange respite care. Connecting caregivers with resources such as support groups, counseling services, and financial aid can also alleviate stress.
