Categorizing family caregiving experiences across health continuums
This article presents a caregiver-centered framework that categorizes the experiences of caregivers to align unmet caregiver needs with relevant supports. The study applied a partner-engaged, qualitative, mixed-methods approach. Using findings from a qualitative evidence synthesis, facilitated data sorting, and caregiver focus groups, the team developed and refined a conceptual model comprised of four key components: phases, goals, stressors, and…
Reframing caregiver experiences
This article aims to define caregiving experiences through the perspectives of caregivers, as opposed to the traditional disease-centered paradigm.

Themes included the following: (1) caregivers struggle to meet the requirements of complex roles; (2) caregiving wears on the …
Family caregiver roles and challenges in assisting patients with cancer treatment decision‐making

Methods Family caregiver‐reported data were analyzed from a national survey conducted in the United States by CancerCare® (2/2021–7/2021). Four select‐all‐that‐apply caregiver roles were explored: (1) observer (patient as primary decision‐maker); (2) primary decision‐maker; (3) shared decision‐maker with patient an…

We examined differences in family and paid caregiving utilization by rurality and region in the United States. METHODS: The 2020 Cornell National Social Survey is an annual cross-sectional telephone-based survey of a random sample of 1,000 US adults. Participants wer…

Public and Private Physical Affection Differences between Same-Sex and Different-Sex Couples
Despite its connection with relationship satisfaction, research on physical affection is scarce and fails to disentangle private and public displays of affection. It is important to examine both types if marginalized couples are less comfortable displaying affection publicly. The present study examined whether same-sex couples display less public (but not private) physical affection than different-sex couples due to stronger feelings of relations…
Dialogical Action
Proponents of community-based research advocate for the active involvement and engagement of community members, citing improved construct validity, intervention efficacy, and accountability. However, to create the conditions in which expertise is mutually constructed and in which no one is the object of research, a reconsideration of the fundamental ethos of community involvement and engagement is required. In this article, we seek to accomplish …
