这项研究调查了养育孙子孙女的祖母的需求、正式服务利用、非正式支持和照顾者负担。对两组人进行了比较：73名公共照顾者和108名私人照顾者(有和没有儿童福利系统参与)。公共护理人员使用更正规的服务，特别是基本的生活和法律服务，这意味着更容易获得服务。更高水平的需要与更高水平的照顾者负担相关。仅在低需求照顾者中，服务利用率越高，负担越大；仅在私人照顾者中，非正式支持越多，负担越低。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study examined needs, formal service utilization, informal support, and caregiver burden among grandmothers parenting grandchildren. Two groups were compared: 73 public and 108 private caregivers (with vs. without child welfare system involvement). Public caregivers used more formal services, particularly basic subsistence and legal services, suggesting greater access. Higher levels of need were associated with higher levels of caregiver burden. Among low need caregivers only, greater service utilization was associated with higher burden; among private caregivers only, more informal support was associated with lower burden.
