The study results show that the feeling of loneliness is present and experienced in a similar way by CRs, regardless of age and relationship to an ill person and that a need for action must derive from this. With the conceptual model, it is possible to offer versatile starting points for nursing practice, such as sensitization, to foster further research into the topic.
