Product Description:

In response to the well-documented negative impact of care-recipient problem behaviors on family caregivers (CGs), healthcare professionals have developed community CG support programs to help CGs manage and cope. However, regardless of whether CGs have participated in support programs, we are not certain about how individual CGs choose and/or develop their own survival strategies over a long-time caregiving career. By conducting semi-structured interviews with nineteen family caregivers reflecting on their long-time (mean, 9.4 years) caregiving experiences, this qualitative study documents CG experiences with an emphasis on a specific care-recipient behavior, care-recipient resistance during care provision (CR-resistance).
