摘要

护理人员在为家人和朋友提供健康和社会支持方面发挥着至关重要的作用。由于年龄和潜在的健康风险，承担护理职责的老年人本身就特别容易受到负面健康和经济影响。许多护理人员没有得到足够的正式或非正式支持，这加剧了提供护理的压力。种族和少数民族照顾者可能不太可能报告在其角色中获得支持，并面临额外的挑战。我们描述了这些65岁以上的照顾者及其面临的负担。我们建议社区卫生工作者、直接补偿和临时护理的正常化，以支持这些基本护理工作者发挥作用并随着他们的年龄增长。

Older Caregivers: Who They Are and How to Support Them.

Caregivers play a crucial role in providing health and social supports to their family and friends. Older adults who take on caregiving roles are themselves uniquely vulnerable to negative health and financial effects due to their age and underlying health risks. Many caregivers do not receive adequate support - either formally or informally - exacerbating the strains of providing care. Racial and ethnic minority caregivers may be less likely to report receiving support in their role and face additional challenges. We describe these caregivers over 65 and the burdens they face. We recommend community health workers, direct compensation, and normalization of respite care to support these essential care workers in their role and as they age.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim. The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
