To what extent does diagnosis matter? Dementia diagnosis, trouble interpretation and caregiving network dynamics
Contemporary research into health treats diagnosis as a central step in illness management and trajectories. Most public health policies, especially in the case of Alzheimer's disease, claim that the earlier a diagnosis is made, the better it is for patients and caregivers. Quantitative and qualitative analysis from our longitudinal interview study, conducted with 60 caregivers of persons diagnosed with dementia, shows that this usual model of di…
Perspective des parcours de vie et sociologie de l'individuation
La perspective des parcours de vie est un ambitieux programme de recherche qui séduit un nombre grandissant de chercheurs dans les domaines des sciences sociales et humaines. Cette perspective tente d'organiser la complexité de la vie sociale en tenant compte de la temporalité, du contexte sociohistorique, des contraintes structurelles et des capacités actancielles (agency) des acteurs sociaux en situation d'interdépendance. L'engouement pour l'a…
Entry Into a Care Trajectory: Individualization Process, Networks, and the Emerging Project
A broad range of services are developing in response to the needs of an aging population. Although most interventions are carried out in the patient's living environment-at the heart of society-few studies on service utilization refer to social theory. This paper suggests that studies on older people with chronic health conditions would benefit from a stronger theoretical foundation. Drawing on 15 in-depth interviews, it highlights the relevance …
Successful Linkage Between Formal and Informal Care Systems: The Mobilization of Outside Help by Caregivers of Persons With Alzheimer’s Disease
Health interventions are currently being revamped to address the specific needs of chronic illness and population aging. In this context, focus has increasingly turned to Alzheimer-type dementia, an illness that is considered to mobilize a large number of social actors into long-term involvement of varying intensity. Linkage problems between families and professional systems have been well documented, yet the reasons for this remain relatively un…
Reconstructing the Temporal-Relational Context: Trans-Action Patterns of Caregivers of an Ill Relative with Alzheimer's Disease
The evolution of a social model of care has been accelerated by a range of factors such as new technology, a change in political parties, and lobbying activity. Further complicating the emergence of the new paradigm is the fact that providing effective care within the community requires an understanding of the context that surrounds the family and the ill person, who must often cope with illnesses that require specialized services and the caring …
Using the life course perspective to study the entry into the illness trajectory: The perspective of caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease
Social Care Interface in Early-Stage Dementia: Practitioners' Perspectives on the Links Between Formal and Informal Networks
The problematic interface between formal and informal service networks could be improved by a greater understanding of microsocial- and organizational-level interactions and implementing a social model of care
Support Network Transformations in the First Stages of the Caregiver's Career
The purpose of this article is to propose a method to facilitate analysis of the processes involved in the transformation of support networks for caregivers of persons with dementia. The authors are particularly interested in the preliminary phases of the caregiver's career: the initial period ranging from the first manifestations of dementia to the confirmation of a diagnosis. This method combines the social network approach with narrative analy…
Care-giver network transformations: The need for an integrated perspective
This paper reviews recent research on care-giver networks and the concepts and approach that they apply, with particular reference to the support networks of the primary care-givers of older people with Alzheimer's disease. It makes the case for an integrated approach to the explanation of the various combinations of formal and informal support that are found. It argues that more attention needs to be given to transformations in care-giver networ…
