FAMILY CAREGIVING IN US NAC/AARP 2009 study: 65 million Americans
providing care during the course of a given year (49 M for adults over age 50)
31% of all US households Most typical: 48-year-old woman taking care of a
parent for about 4 years as well as working part-time

11.5-16 M (Alzheimer’s Association)—70% cared for at home

What are the medical and psychological effects on family members of caring for loved ones with illness or disability?
![Page 16: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RESEARCH ON CAREGIVING’S EFFECTS ON CAREGIVERS Long-term Alzheimer’s dementia caregiving
(Schulz & Martire, 2004) linked with: Insomnia Depression and anxiety Musculoskeletal problems (e.g., back pain) Decreased immune system functioning Decreased use of preventative medical
services Increased mortality (Schulz, JAMA, 1999)
![Page 17: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CAREGIVING’S EFFECTS (cont.) European Heart Journal (2012): Spouses of
fatal and non-fatal heart attack patients have significantly higher rates of…
depression antidepressant and benzodiazepine use suicide …after the medical event than spouses of
patients with other life-threatening conditions

How do family caregivers affect patients’ clinical outcomes?
![Page 19: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RESEARCH ON CAREGIVING & PATIENTS’ OUTCOMES Family members commonly participate in
the care of patients
--Family members are present in one-third of family medicine visits (Medalie et al, 1998)
The presence of family members can improve the quality of medical visits
--Increases patient’s satisfaction with the physician (Wolff, Roter, 2008, 2011)
![Page 20: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PT RESEARCH (cont.)
Family members’ involvement and coping can impact patients’ clinical outcomes
--Can decrease patient depression and mortality (Martire et al, 2004)
--Can improve patients’ knowledge about and attitude toward diabetes (Kang et al, 2010) --Can increase survival time for Alzheimer’s patients (Brodaty, 1993)

PT RESEARCH (cont.) Mary Mittelman’s NYU
Caregiver Intervention—increases caregiver well-being, forestalls nursing home placement of Alzheimer’s patients for nearly 2 years (2006)

What does the research tell us about designing the most efficacious family caregiver support programs?
![Page 23: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SUPPORT PROGRAM RESEARCH Rosalynn Carter Institute: Elements of evidence-
based support programs: Frequent contact with helping professional over
extended period of time who has specific intervention protocol of higher intensity
Provision of multi-components including knowledge, skill-building, problem-solving, counseling
Use of multiple means of contact including in-person, telephone, Internet
![Page 24: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What are the calls for family inclusion on the integrated healthcare team?
![Page 25: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CALLS FOR INCLUSION
AARP Public Policy Institute: “A Call to Action” (2012, Reinhard, Feinberg, Choula)
Carol Levine advised that health care professionals be incentivized to include family caregivers as partners in care.
Suzanne Mintz explained that family caregivers become care coordinators by default, because the current system does not reimburse health care professionals for care coordination.
![Page 26: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CALLS (cont.)
AARP Public Policy Institute, “Moving Toward Person- and Family-Centered Care” (Feinberg, 2012)
Assessing and addressing both the individual’s and the family caregivers’ information, care and support needs and their experience of care
Promotion of communication, shared decision making, and empowerment
![Page 27: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
IMPLICATIONS FOR COLLABORATION 1) Collaborating with family members has the
potential to: Improve patients’ satisfaction with medical
visits and enhance their clinical outcomes Decrease family caregivers’ morbidity and
mortality
![Page 28: WHAT FAMILY CAREGIVING RESEARCH TELLS US ABOUT COLLABORATION](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56813dc0550346895da78922/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
IMPLICATIONS (cont.)
2) Family-centered care should focus on: Empowering family members’ abilities to play
more effective care coordination roles Provide disease- and treatment-specific
information to caregivers Devise means of ongoing team-family
communication (e.g., visits, emails, portals) Balance patients’ rights with reality of shared
decision-making with family members
