AIM
Care services for older people are provided with the expectation of supporting carers in their caregiving role. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between the utilisation of care services by older people and the caregiving experience.
METHODS
Cross-sectional design, involving a cohort of family carers (n = 119) of frail older people (≥70 years) enrolled in a clinical trial of frailty treatment in metropolitan Sydney from 2008 to 2011. The caregiving experience was measured in five domains: health, daily schedule, finance, family support and self-esteem (Caregiver Reaction Assessment tool).
RESULTS
Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated an association between the utilisation of residential respite care and financial strain (β = -0.613, P = 0.049), after controlling for functional ability, co-residence and age.
CONCLUSION
There is a need to consider carers' financial barriers and concerns in regards to the utilisation of respite care services.

方法
采用横断面设计，纳入了2008年至2011年在悉尼大都市参加衰弱治疗临床试验的体弱老年人（≥70岁）的家庭护理人员队列（n = 119）。护理体验在五个领域进行测量：健康、日常安排、财务、家庭支持和自尊（护理人员反应评估工具）。
