ABSTRACT When older adults are hospitalized due to a major health event, the older adults and our healthcare system rely on an estimated 40 million family caregivers to assist their loved ones with self-care activities and complex medical and nursing tasks after hospitalizations. Despite acknowledgement that family caregivers are critical to patients and our healthcare system, caregivers report dissatisfaction with their identification and needs being met during the hospitalization process. In turn, caregivers feel ill-equipped to assist in tasks when their loved one returns home. Assessment of caregivers’ needs, strengths, and resources during hospital care may be particularly important to inform and target training that will equip them to fulfill the needs of their loved ones at home. We propose to develop the Caregiver Hospital Assessment Tool (CHAT) which will identify family caregivers’ needs and guide providers’ clinical decision making for training during hospital care. As a result of this work, family caregivers can expect to receive recognition and meaningful training during the hospitalization of their loved one with the help of CHAT. CHAT will be developed based on the recommended caregiver assessment framework from the National Center on Caregiving at Family Caregiver Alliance and perspectives from collaborative partners that include family caregivers, leading aging and caregiving scientists, and healthcare providers and systems. Specifically, for Aim 1 we will develop CHAT and assess content validity from a panel of experts using quantitative methodology; for Aim 2 we will evaluate face validity of CHAT items from family caregivers using qualitative methodology; and for Aim 3 we will identify clinical utility and acceptability considerations from key stakeholders to inform further refinement of CHAT. To address these aims, we will use a convergent mixed methods approach. In Aim 1, we will survey family caregivers and leading aging and caregiving scientists to gauge feedback on content, wording, and response format. In Aim 2, we will administer CHAT and complete interviews with family caregivers to learn their perspectives on clarity and appropriateness of CHAT. In Aim 3, we will conduct focus groups with frontline providers and healthcare system administrators to inform the refinement of CHAT, including mechanisms for administering and interpreting CHAT, as well as barriers and facilitators to implementing CHAT into routine practice. Findings from all three aims will be synthesized to help strengthen the overall analysis and generate information to refine CHAT. The development and refinement of CHAT is critical to the next planned grant proposal which will examine dose of CHAT specified training and the effect of CHAT on family caregivers and older adults. We expect the refined and psychometrically grounded CHAT will lead to improved knowledge, skills, and abilities of family caregivers. Family caregivers that are well-prepared have the potential to increase their own well-being but also help improve health outcomes and preventable readmissions for their loved ones.

摘要 当老年人因重大健康事件住院时，老年人和我们的医疗系统依赖于 估计有4000万家庭照顾者帮助他们所爱的人进行自我护理活动和复杂 住院后的医疗和护理任务。尽管承认家庭照顾者对 患者和我们的医疗系统，照顾者报告对他们的身份和需求不满意 在住院过程中相遇。反过来，当他们所爱的人完成任务时，照顾者会感到装备不足 回到家。在医院护理期间对照顾者的需求、力量和资源的评估可能是 尤其重要的是通知他们并有针对性地进行培训，使他们能够满足他们所爱的人的需求 回家。我们建议开发护理人员医院评估工具(CHAT)，该工具将识别家庭 护理人员的需求，并指导提供者在医院护理期间进行培训的临床决策。由于…… 这项工作，家庭照顾者可以期望在住院期间得到认可和有意义的培训 在聊天的帮助下，他们所爱的人。Chat将根据推荐的护理员进行开发 家庭照顾者联盟国家护理中心的评估框架和观点 来自协作伙伴，包括家庭照顾者、领先的老龄化和照护科学家以及医疗保健 供应商和系统。具体地说，对于目标1，我们将开发聊天并评估来自以下小组的内容有效性 专家使用定量方法；对于目标2，我们将评估来自家庭的聊天项目的面子有效性 护理人员使用定性方法；对于目标3，我们将确定临床实用性和可接受性 来自关键利益相关者的考虑，以进一步完善聊天。为了实现这些目标，我们将使用 一种收敛的混合方法。在目标1中，我们将调查家庭照顾者和领先的老龄化和 关怀科学家衡量对内容、措辞和回复格式的反馈。在目标2中，我们将管理 与家庭照顾者聊天和完成访谈，了解他们对清晰度和适当性的看法 聊天室。在目标3中，我们将与前线提供者和医疗保健系统管理员一起开展焦点小组 告知聊天的改进情况，包括管理和解释聊天的机制，以及 将聊天落实到日常实践中的障碍和促进者。这三个目标的调查结果将是 综合有助于加强整体分析，并生成信息以提炼聊天。最新进展 而对Chat的改进对于下一个计划拨款提案至关重要，该提案将检查指定的Chat剂量 培训和聊天对家庭照顾者和老年人的影响。我们期待着精致的心理测量学 扎实的聊天将提高家庭照顾者的知识、技能和能力。家庭照顾者 准备充分的人有可能增加自己的幸福感，但也有助于改善健康状况和 对他们所爱的人进行可预防的重新接纳。
