SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIF...

This brief provides approaches to help family caregivers understand the role of caregiving  its
challenges and consequences. Using real life case examples  it illustrates the essentials of
family caregiving. The caregiving role can be a source of caregiver stress and can become
increasingly burdensome. People are now living longer and acquiring chronic diseases  which
makes it necessary to involve caregivers to assist in disability care for longer periods of
time  and live out their end-time at home  which means caregivers are more and more needed 
especially at the end-of-life. This brief illustrates the role and scope of caregiving and its
future growth. It is useful to physicians  social workers  sociologists  psychologists  nurses
public health  public policy and families and has a broad appeal for use in courses on Death
and Dying.
