Publicly funded programs that increase the use of formal community-based care by the elderly could cause less reliance on informal care. The effect of channeling on informal caregiving was examined using data collected from frail elderly and from their primary caregivers. The findings suggest some withdrawal from caregiving on the part of neighbors and friends during the demonstration. Overall, however, these reductions were not large relative to the increased use of formal community-based services.
由公共资金资助的、旨在增加老年人对基于社区的正规护理使用的项目,可能会减少对非正规护理的依赖。我们使用从体弱老年人及其主要护理人员那里收集的数据,研究了引导措施对非正规护理的影响。研究结果表明,在示范期间,邻居和朋友在一定程度上减少了护理工作。然而总体而言,相对于基于社区的正规服务使用量的增加,这些减少幅度并不大。
