The goals of the study were to examine: (a) the tasks that migrant live-in care workers are expected to perform and actually perform during the hospitalization of their care recipients, and (b) the factors that explain the level of involvement by care workers in caring for hospitalized care recipients. A sample of 535 dyads of family caregivers and care workers of hospitalized care recipients in two general hospitals in Israel was interviewed. Results showed a high level of congruence between the care workers' and family caregivers' perceptions of the roles that the paid carers should perform. Paid carers' involvement in care provision varied by hospital and type of ward and was best explained by the hospital characteristics and congruence in the care workers' perceived roles. The extensive needs of hospitalized functionally disabled older adults necessitate explicit policies and guidelines regarding private care provided in hospital wards.
(a) 移民住家护理人员在其护理对象住院期间预期要执行以及实际执行的任务，以及 (b) 解释护理人员参与照顾住院护理对象程度的因素。对以色列两家综合医院中535对住院护理对象的家庭照顾者和护理人员进行了访谈。结果显示，护理人员和家庭照顾者对付费护理人员应履行角色的认知高度一致。付费护理人员在提供护理方面的参与程度因医院和病房类型而异，医院特征以及护理人员所感知角色的一致性对此能做出最佳解释。住院功能残疾老年人的广泛需求使得针对医院病房提供的私人护理制定明确的政策和指导方针成为必要。
