Objectives To describe unmet needs of caregivers of hospitalized older adults during the transition from hospital back home, and identify subgroups with different needs. Methods Patients and family caregivers were recruited from an acute care hospital in Montreal, Canada. Measures included Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Zarit burden scale, and Family Inventory of Needs. Dimensions of unmet needs were explored with principal component analysis; regression tree models were used to identify subgroups with different unmet needs. Results A total of 146 patient-caregiver dyads were recruited. Three categories of caregiver unmet needs were identified: patient medical information; role clarity and support; and reassurance. Caregiver subgroups with highest unmet needs were those with high burden of care plus depressive symptoms ( n = 46) and those caring for patients with low IADL scores ( n = 10). Discussion Caregivers with high burden and depression are those with the greatest unmet needs during the care transition.

Abstract Older adults differ widely both in the care they require and who they rely upon for care. We use data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (2011; N=3,265; MAge [SD] = 77 [7.74] years, 62% women) to classify community-living older adults based on their care needs and the various informal and formal providers of care. We also examine the type of care they receive, predictors of this care, and its implications on their health. Older adults with a co-residing caregiver were more likely to report that their needs were not being met (OR = 1.67; 95% CI=1.15–2.42), compared to those who received informal care and paid support. Moreover, older adults who needed help with self-care activities, but received help with household activities were more likely to report unmet needs (OR = 1.55; 95% CI=1.13–2.12). Results are discussed in light of sociodemographic factors differences and mismatched support.

Bidirectional Relationship

Objective: To examine the potentially bidirectional relationship between anxiety symptoms and unmet needs for assistance with daily activities among older adults. Method: Data came from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, 2011 through 2016 surveys. The study sample consisted of 3,936 Medicare beneficiaries with activity limitations at baseline, aged 65 or older. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to test the proposed relationship between anxiety symptoms and unmet needs for assistance with daily activities. Result: Having unmet needs increased the risk of the onset of anxiety symptoms, and elevated anxiety symptoms increased the risk of incident unmet needs for assistance with daily activities. Conclusion: Anxiety symptoms and unmet needs form a bidirectional relationship. Integrated mental health and community-based long-term care services may help reduce the burden of late-life anxiety disorders and stressful life incidents contributing to disability.
