OBJECTIVE
This study assessed the caregiving activities and training interests of family caregivers of medically ill older adults without dementia who receive home health care.
METHODS
Participants were 101 family caregivers of patients from the Training in the Assessment of Depression (TRIAD) study. Caregivers were assessed using a sociodemographic questionnaire and measures of caregiver tasks and training interest.
RESULTS
Family caregivers provided a variety of caregiving tasks and their interest in training was independent of current provision of tasks. Black caregivers expressed greater overall interest in receiving training than did White caregivers, as did younger caregivers compared to same-generation caregivers.
DISCUSSION
Family caregivers in this study evidenced both a range of care provision and clear interest in improving caregiving skills through training. Research efforts should focus on meeting the specific training needs of family caregivers and determining the impact training can have on patient health outcomes.
目的
本研究评估了接受家庭医疗护理的非痴呆症老年患者的家庭护理人员的护理活动和培训兴趣。
方法
参与者是来自抑郁症评估培训（TRIAD）研究的101名患者的家庭护理人员。使用社会人口统计学问卷以及护理人员任务和培训兴趣的测量方法对护理人员进行评估。
结果
家庭护理人员提供了各种各样的护理任务，并且他们对培训的兴趣与当前任务的提供情况无关。黑人护理人员比白人护理人员表现出对接受培训更大的总体兴趣，年轻护理人员与同代护理人员相比也是如此。
讨论
本研究中的家庭护理人员既展现出一系列护理服务，又对通过培训提高护理技能表现出明确兴趣。研究工作应侧重于满足家庭护理人员的特定培训需求，并确定培训对患者健康结果可能产生的影响。
