Variances in family carers' quality of life based on selected relationship and caregiving indicators: A quantitative secondary analysis

Abstract

Nurses should explicitly assess family carer needs, in particular when older persons are frail. Family carer support interventions should address caregiving preparedness, demand and burden, as well as concerns situated in the relationship.

Vereinbarkeit von Pflege und Beruf: generelle und aktuelle Herausforderungen Betroffener

“…1 Umfang der geleisteten Pflege und Umfang der Erwerbstätigkeit Als weiterer Belastungsfaktor für die Pflegesituation wird der Umfang der geleisteten Pflege betrachtet (Naef et al 2017). Wird der Umfang berücksichtigt, in dem erwerbstätige pflegende Angehörige in der Versorgung der pflegebedürftigen Personen engagiert sind, so zeigt sich eine subjektiv höhere Belastung bei den pflegenden Angehörigen, die mehr Zeit für die Versorgung aufgewendet haben.…”

Patients' and family members' perspectives on the benefits and working mechanisms of family nursing conversations in Dutch home healthcare

“…Caregiver burden may have several negative consequences including physical and mental health problems (Bom, Bakx, Schut, & van Doorslaer, 2018) and employment issues (Longacre, Valdmanis, Handorf, & Fang, 2016; Schmitz & Westphal, 2017). Burden is common in situations of long‐term, intensive and complex care‐giving (Naef, Hediger, Imhof, & Mahrer‐Imhof, 2017; Pristavec, 2019; Swinkels, Broese van Groenou, de Boer, & Tilburg, 2019). These types of informal care‐giving may become more common due to reforms in north‐western European healthcare systems that encourage care recipients to remain home‐residing as long as possible and urge the participation of informal caregivers in care‐giving (De Klerk, De Boer, Plaisier, & Schyns, 2017; Kok, Berden, & Sadiraj, 2015; Verbeek‐Oudijk, Woittiez, Eggink, & Putman, 2014).…”

Secondary Data Analysis in Nursing Research: A Contemporary Discussion

“…Its origins lay further back within the wider educational, social science, and other scientific literature as Glass (1976) described the process as 'reanalysis of data for the purpose of answering the original research question with better statistical techniques, or answering new questions with old data'. Over 40 years later, it seems nursing science has come full circle with secondary data analysis widely employed across many areas of clinical, pedagogical, and policy research (Aktan, 2012;Naef et al, 2017). So, what has changed?…”
