Book excerpt: Stress is both critical and personal experience and has significant effects on caregivers’ physical, mental, and social well-being. The nature of caregiving and the responsibility to work and serve individuals at their illness conditions are very personal encounters that often result in adverse effects on the health and well-being of caregivers (Frederick, 2016). A decrease in stress experience can lead to the satisfaction of caregiver roles and improvement of patient’s quality of life (Choi, Jisun & Boyle, Diane, 2013; Yada, Nagata, & Inagaki, 2014). This scholarly project determined that evidence-based stress management interventions have decreased the perceived stress in caregivers. The scholarly project identified low levels of stress among research participants, and how evidence-based interventions decreased caregiver stress by increasing their knowledge and awareness of evidence-based stress management interventions. The results of this scholarly project agree with the literature that caregiver stress experience can be decreased through the implementation of evidence-based stress management interventions (Blom, Zarit, Groot Zwaaftink, Cuijpers, & Pot, 2013). It is significant to implement evidence-based stress management interventions to decrease perceived stress among caregivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the older populations grow, an increasing number of people are faced with the challenges of caring for frail, older family members. Since the causes of frailty, and especially the causes of cognitive impairment, in late life can last for several years, caregiving can often be experienced as a chronic stressor. Caregiving is often associated with higher rates of depression and anxiety, and with lowered subjective health in the care provider. With this in mind, Stress Reduction for Caregivers addresses the issue of how to help caregivers manage and reduce their stress level. The book is unique in that it bridges the gap between research and practice. It includes a discussion of the stress and coping theories of caregiving developed by researchers in recent years. It also lays out a simple, practical training approach that utilizes four stress reduction techniques to assist professionals in adapting the theories to their practice: Stress Level Monitoring; Relaxation Training; Scheduling Relaxing Events and Cognitive Restructuring. Each technique is accompanied by case studies that demonstrate both the effectiveness and the challenges of applying the overall approach. With its strong base in research and its practical concern for the management and reduction of caregiver stress, this book is a must for professionals who desire to stay abreast of the latest techniques. It will also be of great benefit to advanced students examining the issues of caregiving.

At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Book excerpt: Love for one's neighbor is a primary virtue in many religions including in Christianity. Caregiving is a noble act of service and an ultimate demonstration of love for one's neighbor. The story of the Good Samaritan is a prime example of how one can make the choice to become a caregiver for others in need. Despite the virtue of caregiving, the act of service is inherently stressful. Stress is not a respecter of persons because it affect all though everyone responds to stress differently. This book offers helpful suggestions for how to deal with the stress of caregiving and avoid stress leading to burnout. Several recommendations are offered for how to develop a strategy for responding to and managing stress rather than allowing stress to manage us.

Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: 99.1, language: English, abstract: Caregiver burden is regularly used in nursing literature. However, it has not been yet clearly defined because there are various opinions regarding the concept. This document provides clarity surrounding the concept of caregiver burden and outcomes associated with it. Caregiver burnout can harm the health of the caregiver and has been linked to increased stress, depression, and decline in physical health. Caregiver burnout is correlated with the profession of nursing and common in caregivers caring for chronically ill family members. Knowing and identifying the signs and symptoms associated with caregiver burden can decrease adverse events for both the caregiver and the patient. Caregiver burnout can have physical and psychological effects on the caregiver. Appropriate interventions are needed to alleviate the stress and promote a better quality of life for themselves and their patient. The author did his research from the following databases; CINAHL, MEDLINE, Health Source Nursing, COCHRANE, and Academic Search Complete (ASC) of EBSCO. The paper adopted the framework by Walker and Avant. The antecedents, attributes, consequences, and uses of the concept were identified. The three attributes of caregiver burden were identified as multifaceted strain, self-perception, and over time. The antecedents included lack of social activities, insufficient financial resources, and multiple responsibility conflict. The consequences of caregiver burden resulted in negative change which includes; a decrease in quality of life, decreased care provision, physical and psychological health deterioration. Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) data from France, Georgia, Bulgaria, Russia, and Romania were researched, and depression score is the outcome variable. A definition of caregiver burden was developed. Tools to measure caregiver burden were identified. T

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caregiving can be enormously challenging, terrifically rewarding, and potentially draining. Caregivers often wonder how they will navigate the tumultuous waters of caregiving and not lose themselves completely. The Mindful Caregiver highlights two major approaches to help transform the journey: adopting a practice of mindfulness, which helps caregivers become more self-aware and fully present with the person with whom they are caring, and honoring “the spirit-side” of caregiving which offers new ways of connecting to one another. These approaches take into account not just the needs of the care recipient, but also the needs of the caregiver and other people in his/her life. Remembering to care for oneself when someone else is in great need can be difficult, but with the suggestions and tips in this book, any caregiver can cultivate routines and practices that benefit everyone. Solutions that caregivers can use in their day to day routines are provided, so caregivers who use them can feel more empowered and hopeful. Using real stories throughout, Nancy Kriseman offers self-care exercises and addresses a wide variety of subjects such as setting realistic expectations, making the best possible decisions, advocating effectively, and evaluating available resources and services. The Mindful Caregiver provides inspiration, encouragement, and guidance for finding ease in the caregiving journey. By emphasizing both mindfulness and the spiritual dimension, caregivers can reap the gifts of caregiving, appreciate the special moments, and find strength during the challenging times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given medical advances and greater understanding of healthful living habits, people are living longer lives. Proportionally speaking, a greater percentage of the population is elderly. Despite medical advances, there is still no cure for dementia, and as elderly individuals succumb to Alzheimer's Disease or related dementia, more and more people are having to care their elderly parents and /or siblings. Profiles in Caregiving is practical source of information for anyone who teaches caregiving, acts as a caregiver, or studies caregiving. This book discusses recent research on stress factors associated with caregiving, and what factors impact on successful versus non-successful adaptation to the care-giving role. This is an expanding field in gerontology, and is also of interest to personality and social psychologists studying stress and interpersonal relations. Although there are many books on the cause and treatment of dementia, there has been a book that provides a research investigation into the factors associated with effective caregiving to dementia patients. Conceptualizes caregiving as a multistage career whose impact on the caregiver continues to be felt after in-home care has ceased Based upon a longitudinal survey of a demographically diverse sample of principal caregivers over a three-year period Identifies caregivers who are most at-risk for adverse adaptation to the role Describes preventative and clinical intervention strategies Identifies post-care risk and issues Identifies antecedents to successful adaptation State of the art analytic techniques Graphic presentation of empirical findings Renowned multidisciplinary research team

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Americans 65 years of age or older is projected to more than double to over 98 million by 2060, making them 24% of the overall population. Women constitute more than 50% of this group. Most clinicians who provide primary care for older women receive minimal training about their unique health issues and needs during residency however, and few resources exist to guide them regarding these issues in practice. This book provides user-friendly, evidence-based guidance to manage common challenges in healthcare for women during menopause and beyond, filling a huge and growing unmet need for primary care clinicians. Edited by a multidisciplinary team with content expert authors from family medicine, oncology, urogynecology, obstetrics and gynecology, psychology, and more, this text provides clinically relevant information about important conditions impacting the health of older women, including suggested guidelines for management and helpful resources for patient counselling and care. The first half of the book covers general topics such as menopause, bone health, depression and grief, cancer survivorship, and obesity. The second half focuses on issues below the belt that are difficult to talk about, such as incontinence, vulvar pathology, and sexual health after menopause. While there is copious literature about the menopausal transition, few resources for clinicians exist about caring for women beyond the 6th decade. Challenges in Older Women’s Health: A primer for clinicians provides focused, evidence-based information about high-yield topics for a too often neglected group of patients.

Book excerpt: The story of one woman’s struggle to care for her seriously ill husband—and a revealing look at the role unpaid family caregivers play in a society that fails to provide them with structural support. Already Toast shows how all-consuming caregiving can be, how difficult it is to find support, and how the social and literary narratives that have long locked women into providing emotional labor also keep them in unpaid caregiving roles. When Kate Washington and her husband, Brad, learned that he had cancer, they were a young couple: professionals with ascending careers, parents to two small children. Brad’s diagnosis stripped those identities away: he became a patient and she his caregiver. Brad’s cancer quickly turned aggressive, necessitating a stem-cell transplant that triggered a massive infection, robbing him of his eyesight and nearly of his life. Kate acted as his full-time aide to keep him alive, coordinating his treatments, making doctors’ appointments, calling insurance companies, filling dozens of prescriptions, cleaning commodes, administering IV drugs. She became so burned out that, when she took an online quiz on caregiver self-care, her result cheerily declared: “You’re already toast!” Through it all, she felt profoundly alone, but, as she later learned, she was in fact one of millions: an invisible army of family caregivers working every day in America, their unpaid labor keeping our troubled healthcare system afloat. Because our culture both romanticizes and erases the realities of care work, few caregivers have shared their stories publicly. As the baby-boom generation ages, the number of family caregivers will continue to grow. Readable, relatable, timely, and often raw, Already Toast—with its clear call for paying and supporting family caregivers—is a crucial intervention in that conversation, bringing together personal experience with deep research to give voice to those tasked with the overlooked, vital work of caring for the seriously ill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mounting number of people with dementia and dementia-related disorders is quickly becoming an public health crisis as our country's aging population continues to grow. With no cure and lack of affordable and accessible formal services, family members and other nonformal caregivers report significant amounts of stress and psychological burden (Pinquart Sörensen, 2003). Dementia caregivers who have higher rates of stress are more likely to institutionalize their relative which is associated with increased mortality for the person with dementia (Eska et al., 2013) as well as increased overall healthcare costs (Chen, 2017). Furthermore, overburdened caregivers have higher rates of depression and anxiety (Pinquart Sörensen, 2003) as well as cardiovascular disease and hypertension (Richardson et al., 2013). In-person educational programs have been effective at decreasing some of the determinants stress and overburden in dementia caregivers but there is limited research regarding online-based interventions and their benefit (Park Abbey, 2008). Utilizing a randomized control study design, the proposed study intends to determine whether a series of online educational video content regarding dementia caregiving will be effective at decreasing caregiver stress in nonformal dementia caregivers.

Book excerpt: Caregivers of chronically ill patients are at risk of experiencing burnout and illness brought on by stress related to the unique demands of their role. Stress, when left untreated, can lead to changes in the body that have an adverse impact on health. Caregivers often encounter many barriers to practicing self-care techniques that may help prevent or reduce decreased health. Advanced practice nurse practitioners in a family practice role can address these stress-related health conditions to provide timely and effective management of caregiver burden. The purpose of this scholarly project was to determine whether caregivers would benefit from receiving instruction and resources for practicing stress reduction techniques. A review of the literature revealed that mindfulness-based stress reduction, exercise, deep breathing, and massage were successful techniques utilized to treat stress in caregivers. A one-hour long class was developed to focus on education of the effects of stress, providing resources aimed at reducing stress, and improving self-care. The class had five participants, and a review of the results revealed that caregivers acknowledged the level of stress experienced, that the techniques learned were thought to be helpful to reduce stress and that practicing stress management techniques was feasible. Implications for future practice include combining the class with a previously established support group, partnering with colleagues, and utilizing appointment times to facilitate long term follow-up.
