The research was conducted on 20 women, and 3 (three) categories of analysis were taken into consideration: woman, family, and work.

Average Score

Abstract Background caregivers of home-cared cancer patient during palliative phase are often under psychological and physical pressure. This can lead to a low level quality of life (QoL). This study assesses the QoL of this type of caregiver, more specifically it aims to outline which factors (age, type of palliative care, amount of time spent daily with the patient) affect positively or negatively the QoL score. Methods The AC-QoL questionnaire has been completed by 25 caregivers of oncological patients in home care in north-eastern Italy. The questionnaire is made of 40 items divided into 8 subjects: support in care, choice of care, stress, economic issues, personal growth, sense of value, care skills and personal satisfaction. It has been administered during a home visit or during a follow-up phone call. Results The average score obtained is 71/120, which means a medium level of QoL. The factors which worsen the QoL are the psychological and physical stress (average score 5/15) and restrictions on caregivers' private life (average score 6/15). No significant differences in the QoL of the caregivers are related to social and personal variables (such as age, working condition, relationship with the patient, type of palliative care, amount of time spent daily with the patient). Conclusions These caregivers play a fundamental role in the management of an appropriate continuity of care and their health and QoL are important. Stress and restrictions on private life are the factors which worsen QoL, that's why nurses should evaluate the caregivers' wellbeing during home-visits. Caregivers usually feel able to offer adequate assistance if they have been adequately trained to by healthcare professionals: nurses should provide every useful tool to aloud the caregiver to feel able of and comfortable providing assistance to his/her relative trough an “empowerment process”. Key messages Caregiver of cancer patient in charge of home palliative care is fundamental for an appropriate continuity of care and his health and quality of life (QoL) are important to provide good assistance. Psycho-physical stress and restrictions on private life worsen QoL. Caregiver’s wellbeing should be assessed and useful tools should be provided by home care nurses to ease caregivers’ job.

Abstract The Support at Home pilot program provided financial support for the purchase of home care services by middle-income adults with disabilities in San Francisco to support aging in place. Enrollees had income below the area median and made copayments based on household income. The mixed-methods evaluation of the program incorporated administrative records, surveys of clients and comparison group members, surveys of unpaid caregivers, surveys of paid care providers, and focus groups with clients and unpaid caregivers. Outcome measures included the Older People’s Quality of Life Questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, an adapted Burden Scale for Family Caregivers, and self-reported falls, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Analyses included pre-post chi-squared and t-test comparisons between client and comparison groups and multivariate regressions. An economic analysis was conducted to learn whether changes in costs associated with reduced health care utilization were greater than the costs of the program. Results indicated statistically significant positive changes in client ratings of personal and financial stress, but not in the composite quality of life score. There were statistically significant reductions in attendance at medical appointments, falls, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Similar changes were not found in the comparison group. The focus group data supported the findings regarding personal and financial stress and indicated that clients and their caregivers perceived quality of life benefits. The economic analysis indicated substantial cost savings from the program due to reduced use of medical services. Due to its positive impacts, San Francisco has made Support at Home a permanent program.
