Little is known about the associations between family satisfaction with end-of-life care and caregiver burden. We conducted a researcher-assisted questionnaire survey to clarify the impact of caregiver burden on family satisfaction and to determine the types of burden that decrease family satisfaction. The data collection tool developed by Colón & Lyke, 2003 was used for this study. The results revealed that majority of participants were satisfied with hospice care. Tables are used to show the frequency percentage of participants’ response. Majority 60% of participants were female and 40 % were male. This study identified several comprehensive surveys aimed at measuring the experiences of end-of-life care, covering a variety of content areas and practical issues for survey administration. Future work should focus on standardizing surveys and administration methods so that experiences of care can be reliably measured and compared across care settings.
