Tearing down inequalities in the healthcare system across Europe
Equity in healthcare remains a pressing issue in cancer care across the European Union. Although numerous European initiatives address prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment, significant disparities in access to innovative cancer therapies persist. Time-to-reimbursement for new anticancer drugs varies widely between member states, depending on national health policies, economic capacity, and healthcare infrastructure. These differences partic…
Does willingness to care fluctuate over time? A weekly diary study among informal caregivers
OBJECTIVE: Informal caregivers are expected to be willing to care for relatives with care needs. Little is known about whether and how willingness to care changes over time. Using a weekly diary study, we examined changes in the willingness of 955 caregivers from nine countries. Caregivers provided information on their caregiving context, relationship type, and relationship satisfaction with the care recipient. METHODS AND MEASURES: For 24 consec…
Cross-country variations in the caregiver role
Cross-country variations can be explained to varying degrees by national policies around care (or their absence) and country cultural contexts. The results emphasise the importance of formal support services for achieving positive caregiver experiences, and help inform the development of policies and measures to support caregivers in Europe and Israel
The associations of dyadic coping strategies with caregivers' willingness to care and burden
This weekly diary study investigated associations of weekly dyadic coping strategies with caregivers' willingness to care and burden. Multilevel modelling was applied to assess between- and within-person associations for 24 consecutive weeks in 955 caregivers. Greater willingness to care was reported in weeks when caregivers used more collaborative ( b = 0.26, p < 0.001) and supportive ( b = 0.30, p < 0.001) strategies, whereas uninvolved coping …
The stated preferences of community-based volunteers for roles in the prevention of violence against women and girls in Ghana
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a human rights violation with substantial health-related consequences. Interventions to prevent VAWG, often implemented at the community level by volunteers, have been proven effective and cost-effective. One such intervention is the Rural Response System in Ghana, a volunteer-run program which hires community based action teams (COMBATs) to sensitise the community about VAWG and to provide counselling s…
The interpersonal process model of intimacy, burden and communal motivation to care in a multinational group of informal caregivers
The interpersonal process model of intimacy suggests that intimacy within dyads develops when open communication from one dyad member is met with validating, understanding and caring responses from the other dyad member. Little is known about interpersonal processes between informal caregivers and care recipients in different illness contexts (i.e., coping with neurological, physical or other impairments/comorbidities) and relationship types (i.e…
A Multinational Longitudinal Study Incorporating Intensive Methods to Examine Caregiver Experiences in the Context of Chronic Health Conditions
Informal caregivers are those who provide unpaid care to a relative or friend with a chronic illness, disability or other long-lasting health or care need. Providing informal care in the context of chronic health conditions presents a significant global challenge. Examination of the determinants of informal caregivers' behaviour, especially in terms of motivations and willingness to provide/receive care, is crucial to understanding the nature of …
A qualitative enquiry into the meaning and experiences of wellbeing among young people living with and without HIV in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Young people in sub-Saharan Africa encounter health and livelihood challenges which may compromise their wellbeing. Understanding how young people's wellbeing is defined could strengthen wellbeing policies. We investigated perceptions and experiences of young people's wellbeing, and whether these aligned with Ryff's psychological wellbeing (PWB) model. Data were collected between January-August 2018 through focus-group discussions (n = 12) and in…
Until work do us part
While recent decades have seen considerable research on cohabitation without marriage, the study of marriage without cohabitation has not fared as well. Prior work on the latter has emphasized the importance of occupational stratification, but ignored the social context around occupation, particularly regarding labour mobility and economic development. In this paper, we outline the significance of contemporary labour mobility and concomitant occu…
Will the one who keeps the children keep the house?' Residential mobility after divorce by parenthood status and custody arrangements in France
After divorce, at least one of the partners usually relocates and, according to past research, it is more often the woman. Womenâ s housing conditions are likely to worsen. Divorces where children are involved are frequent and shared custody arrangements ar
Siblings and human capital
This paper investigates how family size affects children's human capital, comparing Italy and France. We tested the dilution effect in these countries, starting with the assumption that the higher the number of siblings, the fewer parental resources are available for each child, and the lower the probability that each child will successfully pursue his/her educational career. We find a negative correlation between the number of siblings and human…
