密切相关的老龄化和依赖性目前正在挑战“家庭护理潜力”,并提出家庭能否为这些需要援助的新情况提供答案的困境。老年家属有长期护理需求,有时非常复杂。为了正确地进行这种护理,必须接受必要的培训,并且必须在合适的专业人员的监督和支持下进行。否则,对接受护理的人造成的后果将成为家庭护理模式紧张的另一个因素。所谓“照顾者负担”不仅影响家庭照顾者,也影响家庭、社会和经济环境,以及他们自身的健康。以家庭为中心的综合照顾方式可以增强这些照顾家庭的自主权,并在一定程度上减轻他们的局限性和痛苦。
Ageing and dependence, which are closely interrelated, are currently challenging the "family potential for care" and posing the dilemma of whether the family can provide an answer to these new situations where assistance is called for. Elderly dependants have long-term care needs, which are sometimes of great complexity. In order to correctly carry out this care it is necessary to have the necessary training, and this must be done under the supervision and with the support of suitable professionals. Otherwise, the consequences for the person receiving the care will be an additional factor of tension placed on the family model of care. The so-called "caregiver burden" has an impact on the family caregivers and on the family, social and economic environment, as well as on their own health.An integrated approach to care, focused on the family, could enhance the autonomy of these caring families and to some extent alleviate their limitations and suffering.
