Abstract:	This article describes a pilot study into the experience of 21 main care providers in families with chronically ill people suffering mainly from AIDS, each one having cared for and supported more than one patient. During the study 46 out of 51 patients who were cared for by these 21 care providers died. Respondents provided information on care and support given to the first patient and how much they were prepared and experienced at giving quality care to the next patient. The study provides data from in-depth interviews conducted between April and June 1999 in a suburb of Mwanza, a city in northwestern Tanzania. Bibliogr., sum.
