Methods We searched databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBase, Scopus, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data, VIP from the inception to March 2020, to collect qualitative studies of spouse caregivers' needs in caring for patients in terminal stage. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies (2017 edition) in Australia. The results were integrated using the pooled integration approach. Results We obtained 15 qualified studies.
