Caregivers of patients with multimorbidity are important for improving patient outcomes. This descriptive study examines health status and burden of 22 caregivers of patients with multimorbidity discharged from the hospital who were enrolled in a self-management intervention study. Caregivers did not receive an intervention. Factors that increased caregiver burden were financial issues, caring for others (e.g., family members), and home obligations. Caregivers averaged between 2 and 3 chronic conditions themselves. Perceived caregiver burden remained unchanged over time for the caregiver whether the patient was in the intervention or the usual care group. We recommend rigorous research with larger samples to better understand the caregiver role, needed resources and potential interventions to mitigate caregiver burden in the multimorbid population during and after care transitions. Longitudinal studies that include assessment and interventions for the caregivers of patients with multimorbidity are needed.
