Abstrakt:	Aggressive end-of-life care in patients with advanced cancer is associated with poor experiences and outcomes. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of aggressive end-of-life care on caregiver satisfaction for caregivers of bereaved advanced cancer patients. Data of 101 caregivers were gathered using a longitudinal, descriptive correlational design study. Postdeath interviews were conducted 2 months after the patient's death. The most common end-of-life care indicators were patient not enrolled in hospice or enrolled within 3 days of death, >1 hospitalization, and intensive care unit admission. More than one-third of patients received at least one of the aggressive end-of-life care indicators in the last 30 days of life. From the multiple linear regression analyses, patient intensive care unit admission and having more than one hospitalization significantly affected caregiver satisfaction with care. Understanding caregiver satisfaction with care may improve the clinical practice of nurses who have crucial role in patients' end-of-life care.
