This article is part of a series, Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone, published in collaboration with the AARP Public Policy Institute. Results of focus groups, conducted as part of the AARP Public Policy Institute's No Longer Home Alone video project, supported evidence that family caregivers aren't given the information they need to manage the complex care regimens of family members. This series of articles and accompanying videos aims to help nurses provide caregivers with the tools they need to manage their family member's health care at home. The articles in this new installment of the series explain principles for promoting safe mobility that nurses should reinforce with family caregivers. Each article also includes an informational tear sheet-Information for Family Caregivers-that contains links to instructional videos. To use this series, nurses should read the article first, so they understand how best to help family caregivers, and then encourage the caregivers to watch the videos and ask questions. For additional information, see Resources for Nurses.
这篇文章是与美国退休人员协会公共政策研究所合作出版的《支持家庭照顾者：不再独自在家》系列文章的一部分。作为美国退休人员协会公共政策研究所“不再独自在家”视频项目的一部分进行的焦点小组的结果支持了这样的证据，即家庭照顾者没有得到他们管理家庭成员复杂护理方案所需的信息。本系列文章和配套视频旨在帮助护士为照顾者提供他们在家中管理家庭成员医疗保健所需的工具。本系列的这一新部分中的文章解释了护士应向家庭照顾者强调的促进安全移动的原则。每篇文章还包含一个信息传单——《家庭照顾者信息》，其中包含指向教学视频的链接。要使用本系列文章，护士应先阅读文章，以便了解如何最好地帮助家庭照顾者，然后鼓励照顾者观看视频并提出问题。有关其他信息，请参见护士资源。
