Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to examine perceived barriers and facilitators to caregiver inclusion in the hospital care of older adult family members or friends through the perspectives of (1) hospitalized older adults, (2) caregivers of a hospitalized older adult, (3) healthcare clinicians, and (4) policymakers.

Methods: This qualitative descriptive exploratory study utilized semi-structured interviews with N = 24 participants and was analyzed using a framework method.

Results: Eight codes arose that were categorized into four domains guided by the Social Ecological Model. Individual-level factors were determined both for the caregiver and for the clinician. Relationship-level factors were revealed pertaining to communication style and method. Hospital-level factors included hospital environment and resources. Societal-level factors included healthcare climate and policies.

Discussion: Findings indicated that hospital workflows and policies inadequately support family caregivers. This study highlights potential solutions to caregivers' integration into hospital workflows.
