“…Less burdened caregivers viewed the general public more responsible for especially personal and nursing care. Finally, in line with other studies (e.g., [28, 29, 34, 44], this study showed that views on responsibility for care differed among groups of people. Older persons, males, lower educated persons, persons that have never been married and persons working part-time seem to place more responsibility on the government for providing care to persons with a need for care.…”

“…In general, people stated that the government holds more responsibility for personal or nursing care than the own social network of the care recipients. These findings are in line with other research, indicating that many people are willing to help in the future, and that views on the responsibility for elderly care seems to shift from the government to the own social network of elderly persons [29, 34]. However, this does not necessarily apply to addressing all health needs.…”

“…While studies on the actual provision of informal care are numerous, there is much less research on views on whether the government or the social network should provide care [1, 25, 26]. Studies in Europe and the VS have shown that although there seems to be a transition in views on who should provide care from the government to the social network, many people consider mainly the government to be responsible for care provision [20, 27–29]. These studies usually studied the views of recipients of care [27, 28], current caregivers [26] or concentrated on care to specific social relations.…”

“…In the context of policies in health care, previous research indicates that preferences for care are shaped by their past experiences with care needs or health care use [27, 38]. When people perceive health problems themselves, they are less likely to participate in caregiving [39] and more often perceive the government responsible for care provision [27, 29]. In this study, we hypothesize that persons who perceive health problems will address more responsibility to the government than to the general public.…”

BackgroundMany countries face substitution from formal to informal care. It is essential that a sufficient number of caregivers, such as family, friends or neighbors, are willing and able to lend care to address the needs of ill or elderly persons. We investigated whether the general public, who might become caregivers in the future, and current informal caregivers align with the shift to more informal caregiving.MethodsWe studied the views on the responsibility for care of the general public versus the government, and whether these views differed among groups with diverse past experiences with care in terms of own health problems or previous caregiving activities. Data (n = 1097) was collected among the Dutch Health Care Consumer Panel with a survey in October 2015. Multivariate analyses of the views on responsibility for care in general and for different types of care were performed using (i) health, (ii) informal care, and (iii) general background characteristics, among a sample of the general public and among a subgroup of current caregivers.ResultsThe majority (67%) of the respondents would be willing to provide informal care in the future, when necessary. Respondents were more willing to provide support tasks than personal or nursing care activities. Among current caregivers, views on responsibility for care were associated with their past experience. Experiencing less burden of caregiving was associated with perceiving the general public as more responsible for personal or nursing care.ConclusionsThe results of this study show that substitution from formal to informal care is more in line with public views when support activities are concerned than personal or nursing care. In addition, burdened caregivers also consider the government more responsible for personal or nursing care. When handing over care tasks to the public domain a critical view is needed on which care tasks are most appropriate for this.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12913-017-2435-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Specifically for elderly care there is evidence that public opinion is shifting in the same direction as the Dutch government aims in its care policy. A shift towards elderly care being seen as the primary responsibility of the family has taken place (Verbakel, 2014).…”

This scoping review focuses on the views of informal caregivers regarding the division of care responsibilities between citizens, governments and professionals and the question of to what extent professionals take these views into account during collaboration with them. In Europe, the normative discourse on informal care has changed. Retreating governments and decreasing residential care increase the need to enhance the collaboration between informal caregivers and professionals. Professionals are assumed to adequately address the needs and wishes of informal caregivers, but little is known about informal caregivers' views on the division of care responsibilities. We performed a scoping review and searched for relevant studies published between 2000 and September 1, 2016 in seven databases. Thirteen papers were included, all published in Western countries. Most included papers described research with a qualitative research design. Based on the opinion of informal caregivers, we conclude that professionals do not seem to explicitly take into account the views of informal caregivers about the division of responsibilities during their collaboration with them. Roles of the informal caregivers and professionals are not always discussed and the division of responsibilities sometimes seems unclear. Acknowledging the role and expertise of informal caregivers seems to facilitate good collaboration, as well as attitudes such as professionals being open and honest, proactive and compassionate. Inflexible structures and services hinder good collaboration. Asking informal caregivers what their opinion is about the division of responsibilities could improve clarity about the care that is given by both informal caregivers and professionals and could improve their collaboration. Educational programs in social work, health and allied health professions should put more emphasis on this specific characteristic of collaboration.
