Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the new phenomenon of distance caregiving, with an emphasis on the experience of adult children providing distance caregiving to a parent with cancer. DATA SOURCES: Literature review and author research. CONCLUSION: Although the research is limited, it forms the foundation for beginning to describe the phenomenon and the associated psychosocial burdens that distance caregivers are struggling with. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: With the growing population of distance caregivers, it is important for nurses to address these burdens. Interventions for clinical practice are recommended.
