超过三分之一的长期精神疾病成年人与家人住在一起,大多数与年迈的父母住在一起,这种情况突出了对非机构化患者的住宅替代家庭护理的需求,这些患者将比他们的照顾者活得更久。养育智障成年人的角色也可能对老年人造成不必要的压力。客观和主观的父母负担,包括对病人的未来的恐惧,增加了精神卫生系统的未能提供教育,支持,培训解决问题,并在出院计划的家庭成员的协作作用。将家庭视为主要照顾者的社会政策影响包括政府将被免除照顾精神病患者的责任的危险,在老年父母和其他受抚养压力影响的家庭成员中创造潜在的风险人口,以及减少患者独立生活的潜力。
More than one-third of long-term mentally ill adults live with their families, most with aging parents, a situation that accentuates the need for residential alternatives to home care for deinstitutionalized patients who will out-live their caregivers. The role of parenting mentally disabled adults may also impose undue stress on elderly persons. Objective and subjective parental burden, including fears for the patient's future, are increased by the mental health system's failure to offer education, support, training in problem solving, and a collaborative role in discharge planning to family members. Social policy implications of considering families as primary caregivers include the danger that government will be relieved of responsibility for care of the mentally ill, the creation of a potentially at-risk population among aging parents and other family members affected by the stresses of caregiving, and the reduction of the patient's potential for independent living.
