With reference to the Critical Appraisal Tool of Australian JBI Evidence-based Health Care Center (2016) for qualitative research, the collection integration method was used to integrate the existing conclusions.Results:A total of 7 literatures were included, and 44 complete and defined findings were extracted. The similar results were summarized into 10 new categories, and were combined into two integrated results including that the family caregivers of patients with pancreatic cancer experienced self-adjustment and showed positive feelings and responses during care, and they still faced difficulties and challenges in care which affecting their life trajectory.Conclusions:Family caregivers of patients with pancreatic cancer have both negative and positive experiences throughout the care process.
