概括
农村家庭照顾者在受照顾者去世前和之后面临持续的悲伤,关系和经济挑战. 一位知名医生的持续支持对于应对这些复杂的悲伤问题至关重要.
科学领域:
- 老年学
- 缓和护理
- 农村卫生
背景情况:
- 家庭照顾者 (FCGs) 在整个照顾旅程和哀悼过程中遇到重大的心理和实际困难,包括人际关系,心理健康和财务压力.
- 由于无法获得基本的缓和护理,过渡护理和社区支持服务,农村养殖群体经常面临复杂的挑战.
研究的目的:
- 量化农村FCG在接受护理的人死亡之前和之后所面临的具体心理社会和实际挑战.
主要方法:
- 随机对照试验数据的二次分析,该试验涉及8周的干预,其中包括息护理护士和FCG之间的视频访问.
- 在干预组中对FCG进行了结构化采访,其CR在研究期间死亡.
主要成果:
- 在215个FCG中,有90个 (41. 8%) 经历了CR死亡. 大多数是女性 (58.9%),白人 (97.5%),配偶/伴侣 (55.6%),并与CR一起生活 (66.7%).
- 大多数FCG (84%) 在死亡后继续进行干预访问,大约在7.2天后恢复. 常见的挑战包括悲伤/应对 (56%),人际关系/支持 (52%),以及金融和住房等实际问题.
- 这些挑战在死前和死后都持续存在, 凸显了对支持的持续需求.
结论:
- 对于FCG的哀悼支持必须包括实际挑战与悲伤,因为这些问题往往早于CR的死亡.
- 一个熟悉的临床医生的护理连续性,从死亡前到丧生,为FCG提供了显著的好处.
- 农村FCG可以在死后一周开始接受丧支持,这表明需要及时干预.
