家庭护理人员负责美国超过 3400 万老年人的家庭护理。对于许多人来说，年长的家庭成员住在一个多小时的路程之外。远程护理日益成为人们所熟悉的模式的替代方案，其中： 1) 老年人和家庭护理人员可能居住在同一家庭；或 2) 家庭照顾者可能与长者住在附近，但不属于同一家庭。远程护理模式涉及居住在一定距离（定义为通勤时间超过 60 分钟）的长者及其家庭护理人员。有证据表明，远程护理是一种独特的现象，与现场家庭护理有很大不同，并且需要额外的援助来支持护理过程的身体、社会和背景方面。基于技术的辅助可以虚拟地连接护理人员和老年人，并提供强有力的支持来解决老年人的身体、社交、认知和/或感官障碍。因此，在当今的高科技时代，令人惊讶的是，用于远程护理的可负担得起的创新产品如此之少。本文讨论了远程护理，建议利用技术创新来支持护理，并提出研究议程，以更好地为与这种情况的独特需求相关的政策决策提供信息。
Family caregivers are responsible for the home care of over 34 million older adults in the United States. For many, the elder family member lives more than an hour’s distance away. Distance caregiving is a growing alternative to more familiar models where: 1) the elder and the family caregiver(s) may reside in the same household; or 2) the family caregiver may live nearby but not in the same household as the elder. The distance caregiving model involves elders and their family caregivers who live at some distance, defined as more than a 60-minute commute, from one another. Evidence suggests that distance caregiving is a distinct phenomenon, differs substantially from on-site family caregiving, and requires additional assistance to support the physical, social, and contextual dimensions of the caregiving process. Technology-based assists could virtually connect the caregiver and elder and provide strong support that addresses the elder’s physical, social, cognitive, and/or sensory impairments. Therefore, in today’s era of high technology, it is surprising that so few affordable innovations are being marketed for distance caregiving. This article addresses distance caregiving, proposes the use of technology innovation to support caregiving, and suggests a research agenda to better inform policy decisions related to the unique needs of this situation.
