Objective:To systematically evaluate the transitional care experience of family caregivers in palliative care from hospital to home.Methods:A computer-based search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Wanfang Data for qualitative studies on the transitional care experience of family caregivers in palliative care, from database inception to November 25, 2024. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research (2016 edition). Data were synthesized and integrated using meta-aggregation.Results:A total of 10 studies were included, from which 33 primary findings were extracted. These findings were classified into nine new categories and further synthesized into four overarching themes: development and exacerbation of physical and psychological distress during the transition, multiple challenges and dilemmas during the transition, multidimensional support needs during the transition, and positive coping and personal growth.Conclusions:Family caregivers in palliative care experience complex physical and psychological changes, multiple challenges, and diverse care needs during the hospital-to-home transition. Healthcare professionals should pay close attention to the lived experiences and actual needs of family caregivers during this period, so as to facilitate a successful transition from hospital to home.
