Title of the research: Caregrievers’ Endeavour: Unfolding the Dynamic Coping Process in End-of-life (EOL) Caregiving. The overall aim of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the dynamic coping process among EOL caregrievers. This research consists of two studies. Study 1 was a qualitative study. Data were collected from13 semi-structured interviews with informal caregivers to identify the core elements of coping and coping dynamics in EOL caregiving. Study 2 was a cross-sectional study to test the relationship among stress, coping and consequences in caregrieving context. A total of 373 responses were received. Eight responses were removed from data analysis as they either filled in socio-demographic and did not proceed whereas five left all blanks for all items. At last, 365 valid responses were included in Study 2. Data included socio-demographic information, caregrievers' self-reported level of stress, coping and caregrieving consequences (positive and negative).
