Data from a multi-stage quota sample which includes 528 respondents aged 55 and over with at least one living sibling are used to examine instrumental support (financial, help during illness, other) from siblings, the perception of siblings as a source of support if needed (in a crisis, long-term illness, coresidence), and the characteristics of respondents and their sibling networks associated with receiving help and perceiving help to be available. A minority of respondents have received sibling support, and a majority perceive siblings to be available in a crisis. Those with two or more siblings are more likely to have received help and to perceive siblings as available than those with one sibling. Significant differences by gender, marital status, parent status, and geographic proximity are discussed with reference to models of support, particularly the functional-specificity of relationships model.
来自一个多阶段配额样本的数据被用于研究相关内容，该样本包括528名55岁及以上且至少有一个在世兄弟姐妹的受访者。这些数据用于考察来自兄弟姐妹的工具性支持（经济支持、生病时的帮助、其他帮助）、将兄弟姐妹视为必要时（危机、长期疾病、共同居住）的支持来源的认知，以及与获得帮助和认为可获得帮助相关的受访者及其兄弟姐妹网络的特征。少数受访者得到过兄弟姐妹的支持，而大多数人认为在危机中兄弟姐妹会提供帮助。有两个或更多兄弟姐妹的人比只有一个兄弟姐妹的人更有可能获得帮助并认为兄弟姐妹可提供帮助。文中参照支持模型，特别是关系功能特异性模型，讨论了性别、婚姻状况、父母身份和地理距离方面的显著差异。
