Identifying Needs and Support Services for Family Caregivers of Older Community-Based Family Members: Mixed-Method Research Findings.
A recent Canadian study conducted in one province identified family caregiver support needs and essential support services when caring for older community-based family members requiring assistance with activities of daily living. Weekly interviews of 150 volunteer caregivers over 6 months identified 11 support needs and 5 essential support services. Scoping literature reviews of the 11 needs found they had all been identified before. Program logic investigations of the 5 support services identified a patch-work of temporarily available support services in existence across the province. Two governmental policies are recommended: (a) provincial policy assuring access to the five support services, and (b) federal policy for federal-provincial funding transfers to address the provincial cost of assured community-based support services. Family caregivers require this support to maintain their own and their family member's well-being, particularly as this caregiving prevents or delays older family member hospitalizations and nursing home entry.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
