• Abstract: Background: The escalating burden of diseases in countries like India has placed caregivers under immense physical, mental, and emotional strain. Nurses play a pivotal role in providing comprehensive support to patients and caregivers. However, little is known about nurses' perceptions regarding the needs of caregivers. • Objective: This study aimed to assess nurses' perception on the needs of caregivers of patients. • Method: An exploratory study was conducted among 226 staff nurses using a convenient sampling technique. Nurses' perception of caregiver needs was evaluated through a self-administered semi-structured questionnaire. • Results: Most (98.67%) of participating nurses demonstrated adequate perception, while a small proportion (1.33%) exhibited inadequate perception of caregiver needs. Significant associations were found between nurses' perception and demographic variables, including religion, education, recent caregiving experience to family members, and working area. • Conclusion: The study concludes that nurses' perception of caregiver needs is significantly influenced by demographic factors. Understanding these perceptions is crucial for optimizing caregiver support strategies and enhancing patient care outcomes.
