国内外失能老人家庭照顾者干预研究进展

Interventions for family caregivers of disabled elderly at home and abroad:a review on research progress

目前国内外大部分失能老人仍主要由其家庭照顾者进行居家照顾,但长期繁重的照护工作使得照顾者压力倍增,身心健康严重受损,因此国内外学者越来越关注如何为失能老人家庭照顾者提供支持性干预的问题。国外在该领域的研究开展得较早且相对成熟,而国内相关研究的发展虽较为滞后但仍在积极探索中,为此本文通过对比国内外对失能老人家庭照顾者干预方面的研究进展,并结合中国养老现状提出合理建议,以期对我国照顾者干预研究的发展提供经验和启发。

At present,the most of the disabled elderly in the world are still mainly cared by their family caregivers and those long-term and arduous care works could exert great negative impacts on physical and mental health of the caregivers.Therefore,researchers at home and abroad have paid more and more attentions to how to intervene on the family caregivers of the disabled elderly.Studies on the issue were started earlier in foreign countries,with many productive results compared to those in China.In this study,we reviewed and compared progresses in foreign and domestic researches on the intervention for family caregivers of disabled elderly and put forward some suggestions based on current situation of the elderly care in China for providing a reference to domestic development in relevant studies.
