减少新冠肺炎传播的严格限制已经扰乱了许多高危人群及其家庭照顾者的生活。本研究探讨家庭照顾者如何感知新冠肺炎期间家庭照护的变化，以及他们如何应对这些变化。我们对65岁以上的成年人或残疾成年人的家庭照顾者进行了52次半结构化访谈，并通过归纳主题分析对数据进行了分析。护理者认为与新冠肺炎相关的护理变化最大的是有限的社交和身体接触，改变了护理任务，减少了服务和支持，以及对警觉和安全的新关注。照顾者在照看方面做出了许多改变，包括保持联系，让亲戚忙碌起来，以新的方式获得支持和服务，以及减轻照顾者的压力。
The strict restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 have disrupted the lives of many at-risk people and their family caregivers. This study explored how family caregivers perceived that family caregiving had changed during COVID-19 and the strategies they used to cope with these changes. We conducted 52 semi-structured interviews with family caregivers of adults over age 65 or adults with disabilities and analyzed the data through an inductive thematic analysis. Caregivers perceived the largest COVID-19-related caregiving changes to be limited social and physical contacts, changed caregiving tasks, reduced services and supports, and a new focus on vigilance and safety. Caregivers made numerous changes to caregiving, including keeping connected, keeping relatives occupied, getting support and services in new ways, and reducing caregiver stress.
