Summary

This study looks at the role of family caregivers in adult medicine wards at a large hospital in Bangladesh. Researchers will observe patients and caregivers, track how nurses and doctors spend their time, and interview staff and families. The goal is to understand what tasks caregivers perform, how their involvement affects care, and what helps or hinders their participation.
