引言：向拉丁美洲人提供临终（EOL）护理是一项有据可查的挑战。大多数拉丁裔患者的护理人员是家庭亲属，但由于拉丁裔护理人员可能比其他种族群体花费更多的时间担任护理角色，并且不太可能使用额外的医疗保健，因此护理人员可能会增加负担。这可能导致拉丁美洲老年人更容易接受积极的护理。“像我这样的照顾者”是作为非专业照顾者的一个来源创建的，以提高他们对拉丁美洲老年人在生命结束（EOL）的知识。这个资源的目的是教育照顾者的压力和改善对利用EOL services.METHODS的态度：“照顾者喜欢我”是一个双语教育干预，包括一个视频肥皂剧，或肥皂剧。视频之后是对临终关怀、姑息治疗和护理人员压力定义的讨论，最后是对护理人员可用服务的解释（即，社会服务，支持团体，成人日托，家务劳动者，家庭护理与或不姑息治疗，以及临终关怀下的喘息护理）。结果：“像我这样的照顾者”已被证明可以提高拉丁美洲家庭照顾者在照顾他们所爱的人的同时接受专业帮助的开放性。在非专业的拉丁美洲照顾者（N = 145）的多站点横断面试点研究的参与者报告积极学习的干预和高满意度的整体教育experience.Discussion：这个工具提供了一种教育形式，是文化和识字敏感的拉丁美洲照顾者和有效地改变他们对EOL护理的态度。它可以被专业护理人员用来教育拉丁美洲护理人员关于EOL护理。
INTRODUCTION: End-of-life (EOL) care delivery to Latinos is a well-documented challenge. The majority of caregivers for Latino patients are family relatives, but because Latino caregivers may spend more hours in the caregiving role than other ethnic groups and are less likely to use additional available health care, caregivers can experience an increased burden. This can result in Latino elders being more vulnerable to receiving aggressive care. "Caregivers Like Me" was created as a source for nonprofessional caregivers to improve their knowledge about Latino caregiving of elders at end-of-life (EOL). This resource aims to educate about caregiver stress and to improve attitudes towards the utilization of EOL services.METHODS: "Caregivers Like Me" is a bilingual education intervention that includes a video soap opera, or telenovela. The video is followed by discussion of hospice, palliative care, and caregiver stress definitions and ends with an explanation of services available for caregivers (i.e., social services, support groups, adult day care, chore workers, home care with or without palliative care, and respite care under hospice).RESULTS: "Caregivers Like Me" has been demonstrated to improve Latino family caregivers' openness to receiving professional help while caring for their loved ones. Participants in a multisite cross-sectional pilot study among nonprofessional Latino caregivers (N = 145) reported active learning from the intervention and high satisfaction with the overall educational experience.DISCUSSION: This tool provides an education format that is culturally and literacy-sensitive to Latino caregivers and effective in changing their attitude toward EOL care. It may be used by professional caregivers to educate Latino caregivers about EOL care.
