This study examines the potential benefits and costs of having both work and elder care responsibilities, based on interviews with 94 employed caregivers. For the majority of the respondents, the negative aspects of combining work and caregiving roles were outweighed by positive aspects, such as a sense of accomplishment, enhanced interpersonal relationships, and opportunities to compensate for limitations experienced in each of the separate roles. Workplace policies and programs considered most helpful by respondents were those which provided options for adapting work routines to complement caregiving responsibilities.
本研究基于对94名在职照顾者的访谈，探讨了承担工作和照顾老人责任的潜在益处和成本。对于大多数受访者而言，工作与照顾角色相结合的消极方面被诸如成就感、人际关系的改善以及弥补在各自独立角色中所经历的局限性等积极方面所抵消。受访者认为最有帮助的职场政策和项目是那些提供调整工作日常以配合照顾责任的选项的政策和项目。
