Caregiving Across the Lifespan
Effects of the TCARE(R) Intervention on Caregiver Burden and Depressive Symptoms
The preliminary findings provide strong support for effectiveness of the TCARE® protocol on improving caregiver well-being and mental health outcomes
Investigating the Effects of Communication Problems on Caregiver Burden
The study findings not only lend further support to the existing literature that has documented problem behaviors as strong predictors of burden but also emphasize the importance of communication problems in the caregiving process
Gender And Elder Care In China
The authors explore the changing dynamics of gendered familial caregiving in urban China within the context of economic reforms and the continued cultural influence of xiao (filial piety). Data collected in China through interviews with 110 familial caregivers were used to examine cultural and structural influences on the caregiving behavior of adult children. Results from multiple regression analyses provide evidence of a gendered division of pa…
The Therapeutic Environment Screening Survey for Nursing Homes (Tess-NH)
The TESS-NH efficiently assesses discrete elements of the physical environment and has strong reliability and validity. The SCUEQS provides a quantitative measure of environmental quality in institutional settings
Societal and Family Change in the Burden of Care
The Family Role in the Context of Long-Term Care
Current long-term care policy and practices are built on the premise that family is and should be the primary party responsible for impaired older persons. This article presents evidence that this premise and the resulting policies and practices are (a) built on myth; (b) fueled by gender, income, and ethnic inequalities; and (c) largely responsible for the creation of a service system that has inadequate capacity to meet current and future needs…
Advancing Caregiver Research
D ESPITE periodic questioning of the merits and utility of the vast number of publications focused on family caregivers by key scholars in the field (e.g., George, 1990; Zarit, 1989), the number of studies of caregiving and family caregivers has not diminished. A review of the contents of The Journals of Gerontology and The Gerontologist in just the past three years reveals a total of 61 articles concerned with caregiving issues. When attention i…

Investigating Patterns of Service Use by Families Providing Care for Dependent Elders
The behavioral model developed by Andersen in 1968 was used to investigate patterns of support service use by families caring for dependent elders. It was hypothesized that differences in background or predisposing factors that serve to define caregivers (e.g., spouse vs. adult-child) would interact with need factors to influence the use of "discretionary" support services (e.g., adult day care), but not influence the use of nondiscretionaryy" se…

Caregiving and the Experience of Subjective and Objective Burden
Teaching Social Gerontology
T he field of social gerontology has several characteristics that make the teaching of a course a challenging task. The field is relatively new, draws on a diverse set of disciplines, and encompasses a wide range of topics, issues, and methods. Like many new fields of study, social gerontology suffers from a plethora of small cross-sectional and descriptive studies and paucity of research that adequately addresses causal relationships. Finally, t…
