With an aging population and projected increases in the number of older adults in need of care, especially those with chronic and progressive disease like dementia, family care is at the forefront of pressing social issues in the U.S. and worldwide. Time use data, including 24-hour time diaries (TD), daily diaries (DD), and ecological momentary assessments (EMA), may be especially helpful for shedding light on the often "invisible" care being given by American families caring for older adults. This review presents U.S. datasets that have TD, DD, or EMA available and proposes areas of future research including charting care and the impact on well-being, as well as expanding data collections.
随着人口老龄化以及预计需要护理的老年人数量增加，尤其是那些患有痴呆症等慢性和进行性疾病的老年人，家庭护理处于美国乃至全球紧迫社会问题的前沿。时间使用数据，包括24小时时间日记（TD）、每日日记（DD）和生态瞬时评估（EMA），对于揭示美国家庭照顾老年人时经常“无形”的护理情况可能特别有帮助。本综述介绍了拥有TD、DD或EMA的美国数据集，并提出了未来研究领域，包括绘制护理情况及其对幸福感的影响，以及扩大数据收集。
