Evaluation research of a caregiver community-based support program is described. Initially, caregiver-participants characterized their lives as being "on hold." They were overwhelmed, isolated, and lacking time for a personal life. Socialization activities and learning to care for themselves were the most powerful and helpful aspects of the program. Suggestions are made for developing a caregivers' support program within a home healthcare agency.
描述了一项基于社区的照顾者支持项目的评估研究。最初，参与项目的照顾者将他们的生活描述为“暂停状态”。他们不堪重负、孤立无援，且没有时间过个人生活。社交活动和学习照顾自己是该项目最有力且最有帮助的方面。文中针对在家庭医疗保健机构内开展照顾者支持项目提出了建议。
