Abstract

In low- and middle-income countries, caring for the elderly is a responsibility that is undertaken within households with minimal institutional support from the community or structural support from the state [1,2]. Usually, this responsibility is shared within the home, with the physical and emotional work of caring falling to the one who does not have too many extra-residential responsibilities. The gendered nature of caring responsibility is such that, usually it is women who are not in the formal or informal labour markets who share the responsibility [2,3].

研究慢性病老年人的方法学挑战：纳入护理人员的伦理需求。

在低收入和中等收入国家，照顾老年人是在家庭内部承担的责任，社区的机构支持或国家的结构支持很少[1，2]。通常，这种责任是在家里分担的，照顾孩子的身体和情感工作落在了没有太多额外居住责任的人身上。照顾责任的性别性质是这样的，通常是不在正式或非正式劳动力市场的妇女分担责任[2，3]。

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Medical Ethics (formerly Issues in Medical Ethics) is a platform for discussion on health care ethics with special reference to the problems of developing countries like India. It hopes to involve all cadres of, and beneficiaries from, this system, and strengthen the hands of those with ethical values and concern for the under-privileged. The journal is owned and published by the Forum for Medical Ethics Society, a not-for-profit, voluntary organisation. The FMES was born out of an effort by a group of concerned doctors to focus attention on the need for ethical norms and practices in health care.
