Background and Objective: Borderline personality disorder is a disturbing disorder for the patient and his caregivers, especially the main caregiver. The aim of this study was to investigate the lived experience of the main caregiver of patients with borderline personality disorder.
Materials and Methods: The research method was qualitative. The statistical population was all caregivers who referred to Sina Hospital in Hamedan with the patient. Among them, 8 caregivers were selected by random sampling and considering the researcher's theoretical saturation.
Results: The results of the interviews include 5 sub-themes "Aggression", "Feeling of Helplessness", "Family Relations", "Social Relations", "Quality of Relationship with the Patient", and two main themes "Inability to Control Emotions and Feelings" and "Caregiver Relations". The results showed that the main caregivers are always affected by patients in their emotional instability and relationships.
Conclusions: Therefore, their ability to control their emotions is low and the quality of their relationship is not suitable.
