Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective: To describe the experience that caregivers of relatives who died of cancer went through at the time of death. Materials and methods: Descriptive study, based on Husserl’s phenomenological approach and Colaizzi’s method. The study participants were 16 adults who performed the role of primary family caregiver for more than six months, within an 8-18-month period, before the in-depth interview. Descriptive and nominal codes were identified and transcribed between January and March 2018. A cross-review was performed. Results: The experience that the caregiver of a relative who died of cancer underwent at the time of death was built from seven themes: the end of a great battle; the present body and the absent soul; feeling incomplete; wondering why; establishing the urgent; saying goodbye; and looking for reasons to continue living. Conclusions: For the caregiver of a relative who dies of cancer, facing the time of death causes indescribable pain. Social, economic, psychological and spiritual factors converge in this experience; therefore, it is necessary to overcome obstacles and unexpected situations that, despite their difficulty, force us to learn from them and find meaning.
