Summary
Developing caregiver support in France is crucial. Without proper care pathways, caregivers face significant psychosocial risks, impacting both the elderly and their support network.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Public Health
- Social Work
Context:
- Recent initiatives in France aim to enhance support systems for family caregivers.
- Coordination of assistance through social services presents psychological challenges for elderly individuals and their caregivers.
- The absence of structured and adapted care pathways increases caregiver vulnerability.
Purpose:
- To highlight the importance of coordinated assistance for caregivers in France.
- To identify the psychological barriers in accessing social services for care recipients and caregivers.
- To underscore the risks associated with inadequate care pathway implementation.
Summary:
- French caregiver support initiatives are expanding, but integration with social services poses psychological difficulties.
- Caregivers are at risk of psychosocial issues if a suitable, rehabilitated care pathway is not established.
- The study emphasizes the need for effective care coordination to mitigate risks for informal caregivers.
Impact:
- Informing policy development for improved caregiver assistance programs in France.
- Raising awareness among healthcare professionals and social workers about caregiver psychosocial risks.
