护理建议，记录，使能（护理）法案有可能对拉丁美洲老年人及其护理人员的生活产生积极影响。由于拉丁美洲人是增长最快的老年人口，拉丁美洲家庭和照顾者的数量预计也将增长，特别是在那些为阿尔茨海默病或其他痴呆症患者提供照顾的人中。照顾一直被认为是拉丁美洲人的文化嵌入价值。虽然很少有研究集中在这一人群中，但现有的研究表明，拉丁裔照顾者很难找到双语和双文化的支持和信息，并表现出更高的痛苦和健康差异。《护理法》的目的是在老年人住院和护理过渡期间帮助和支持家庭护理人员。本文探讨了这一国家法律的潜在影响，特别是对拉丁美洲人，包括政策实施的建议。
The Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE) Act has the potential to make a positive impact in the lives of Latino older adults and their caregivers. As Latino individuals are the fastest growing older adult population, the number of Latino families and caregivers is also expected to grow, particularly among those providing care for someone with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. Caregiving has been considered a culturally embedded value among Latino individuals. Although few studies have focused on caregiving in this population, those that exist suggest that Latino caregivers struggle to find bilingual and bicultural support and information and show higher levels of distress and health disparities. The purpose of the CARE Act is to help and support family caregivers when older adults are admitted to the hospital and during care transitions. The current article examines the potential implications of this state law, specifically on Latino individuals, including recommendations for policy implementation.
