Download or read book Families Caring for an Aging America written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
Download or read book Challenges in Older Women s Health written by Heidi W. Brown and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Americans 65 years of age or older is projected to more than double to over 98 million by 2060, making them 24% of the overall population. Women constitute more than 50% of this group. Most clinicians who provide primary care for older women receive minimal training about their unique health issues and needs during residency however, and few resources exist to guide them regarding these issues in practice. This book provides user-friendly, evidence-based guidance to manage common challenges in healthcare for women during menopause and beyond, filling a huge and growing unmet need for primary care clinicians. Edited by a multidisciplinary team with content expert authors from family medicine, oncology, urogynecology, obstetrics and gynecology, psychology, and more, this text provides clinically relevant information about important conditions impacting the health of older women, including suggested guidelines for management and helpful resources for patient counselling and care. The first half of the book covers general topics such as menopause, bone health, depression and grief, cancer survivorship, and obesity. The second half focuses on issues below the belt that are difficult to talk about, such as incontinence, vulvar pathology, and sexual health after menopause. While there is copious literature about the menopausal transition, few resources for clinicians exist about caring for women beyond the 6th decade. Challenges in Older Women’s Health: A primer for clinicians provides focused, evidence-based information about high-yield topics for a too often neglected group of patients.

Download or read book Avoiding Caregiver Burnout written by Karla Berenice Roldan and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being able to cope with the strains and stresses of being a caregiver is part of the art of caregiving. In order to remain healthy so that individuals can continue to be caregivers, they must be able to see their own limitations and learn to care for themselves as well as others. This workshop is designed for mothers of children with autism who are experiencing signs of caregiver burnout, such as ongoing fatigue, depression, withdrawal from social contacts, change in eating habits, decrease in productivity, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, stress, anxiety, and physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. This is a one-day, eight hour workshop facilitated by a mental health professional specializing in working with children with autism and their families. The goal of the workshop is to help mothers recognize the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and financial stressors associated with caring for a special needs child. By identifying such stressors, parents are better able to implement positive and healthy ways of coping with the high demands of caring for a child with autism in hopes of avoiding caregiver burnout. The workshop will achieve its goal by providing participants with helpful resources, tips, information, support, and effective strategies which can help minimize the burdens of caregiving and help maximize their own quality of life, ultimately improving their own caregiving skills.
Download or read book Burnout in Families written by Charles R. Figley and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-12-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleeplessness, depression, anxiety... these are common symptoms of the burnout that often accompanies living with a loved one who has experienced some kind of traumatic stress. It's well known that the loss of a child, a life-threatening injury, sexual assault or combat experience can affect the victim in traumatic ways, but what's often overlooked is how this trauma affects those closest to the victim - the family. Burnout in Families focuses on the emotional vulnerability of families exposed to the chronic or acute stress of one of its members. Editor Charles R. Figley brings together seven psychologists from around the United States to take a closer look at what's now known as secondary traumatic stress disorder - the burnout that occurs when family members care for or just live with other family members who have undergone a traumatic life event. The authors provide a comprehensive review of the available literature and offer solutions for treating and preventing family burnout and the marital and family discord that inevitably follows. Burnout in Families is an ideal text for university-level psychology, family therapy and social work courses.
