英国青少年护理的性质和程度仍然是越来越多以儿童和护理人员权利理念为动机的研究项目的一个特征。然而，只有通过审查对父母损害的医学研究的结果和影响，以及重新定义社会中“残疾”概念的社会运动，才能充分理解由于父母健康状况不佳或残疾而产生的对年轻人的照顾。本文探讨了医学研究人员提出的论点，由那些提出残疾的社会模式和那些专门调查的条件和经验的年轻照顾者。缔约国认为，在父母患病或残疾的家庭中，儿童的照料作用不仅需要被理解为反映了医疗状况本身的性质，而且也是复杂的家庭、社会和经济进程的结果。建议采取“整个家庭”的办法，尊重和满足儿童和父母的需要。
The nature and extent of young caring in the UK continue to be a feature of a growing number of research programmes motivated by a children and carers' rights philosophy. However, the context in which young caring occurs as a result of parental ill-health or disability can only be fully understood by examining the findings and implications of medical research into parental impairment, and the social movements that have served to redefine the concept of 'disability' in society. This paper examines the arguments put forward by medical researchers, by those proposing a social model of disability and by those who have specifically investigated the conditions and experiences of young carers. It argues that children's caring roles within families where there is parental illness or disability need to be understood not only as a reflection of the nature of the medical condition itself, but as a consequence of complex family, social and economic processes. A 'whole family' approach is proposed, where the needs of children and parents are respected and responded to.
