Informal family care is an essential pillar of the healthcare system whilst informal caregivers face the huge challenge of coordinating family, the care situation as well as their employment.
This article describes care situations, associated burdens, challenges and desired support measures experienced by university staff.
A total of 75 people who are currently caring for or have in the past cared for a relative, participated in the online survey.
Informal care, often undertaken at short notice for family members, consumes a lot of time and requires a high amount of flexibility. In 64% of the reported cases the care situation lasted for more than 1 year, while being concealed by one third of the respondents and thus leading to a high risk of burnout.
Informal caregivers need support within the social and professional environment by creating an awareness of this growing and unspoken topic.
非正式家庭护理是医疗保健系统的重要支柱，而非正式护理人员面临着协调家庭、护理状况以及自身工作的巨大挑战。
本文描述了大学工作人员所经历的护理状况、相关负担、挑战以及期望的支持措施。
共有75名目前正在照顾或曾经照顾过亲属的人员参与了在线调查。
非正式护理通常是在接到通知后不久就为家庭成员提供，耗费大量时间且需要高度灵活性。在64%的报告案例中，护理状况持续了一年以上，而三分之一的受访者对此予以隐瞒，从而导致了很高的倦怠风险。
非正式护理人员需要在社会和职业环境中获得支持，以提高对这一日益增长且未被提及的话题的认识。
