Abstract

Abstract The VA has been a pioneer in research, practice and policy that supports the needs of caregivers. The VA HSR&D funded Elizabeth Dole Center of Excellence in Veteran and Caregiver Research, of which Dr. Trivedi is a site PI and part of the core leadership, is a testament to this investment in research, as are several scientific projects. The VA also provides support for caregivers by providing an array of services (e.g., hotline; caregiver training programs; stipends) and has deployed 2000+ staff nationally to connect caregivers to VA and non-VA services. The VA has also invested in rigorous evaluations of existing practice and policy with the eye on refining and improving. Dr. Trivedi will provide an overview of her work within the VA that focuses on developing behavioral intervention to target the collective stress coping needs of Veteran-caregiver dyads. With the lens of implementation science, she will share her work identifying barriers and facilitators of accessing home and community-based services, and describe how these insights are being used to inform VA practice and policy.

利用庞然大物：将瓦努阿图家庭照顾者研究转化为政策和实践

摘要退伍军人事务部一直是支持护理人员需求的研究、实践和政策的先驱。退伍军人事务部 HSR&D 资助的退伍军人和护理人员研究伊丽莎白-多尔卓越中心（Elizabeth Dole Center of Excellence in Veteran and Caregiver Research）是这一研究投资的见证，特里维迪博士是该中心的现场首席研究员，也是核心领导层的一员。退伍军人事务部还通过提供一系列服务（如热线电话、护理人员培训计划、津贴）为护理人员提供支持，并在全国范围内部署了 2000 多名工作人员，将护理人员与退伍军人事务部和非退伍军人事务部的服务联系起来。退伍军人事务部还投资于对现有实践和政策的严格评估，以期完善和改进。特里维迪博士将概述她在退伍军人事务部的工作，该部门的工作重点是针对退伍军人-护理人员二人组的集体压力应对需求制定行为干预措施。她将从实施科学的角度分享她在确定获得家庭和社区服务的障碍和促进因素方面所做的工作，并介绍如何将这些见解用于退伍军人事务部的实践和政策。

期刊介绍： Innovation in Aging, an interdisciplinary Open Access journal of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA), is dedicated to publishing innovative, conceptually robust, and methodologically rigorous research focused on aging and the life course. The journal aims to present studies with the potential to significantly enhance the health, functionality, and overall well-being of older adults by translating scientific insights into practical applications. Research published in the journal spans a variety of settings, including community, clinical, and laboratory contexts, with a clear emphasis on issues that are directly pertinent to aging and the dynamics of life over time. The content of the journal mirrors the diverse research interests of GSA members and encompasses a range of study types. These include the validation of new conceptual or theoretical models, assessments of factors impacting the health and well-being of older adults, evaluations of interventions and policies, the implementation of groundbreaking research methodologies, interdisciplinary research that adapts concepts and methods from other fields to aging studies, and the use of modeling and simulations to understand factors and processes influencing aging outcomes. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across various disciplines, such as technology, engineering, architecture, economics, business, law, political science, public policy, education, public health, social and psychological sciences, biomedical and health sciences, and the humanities and arts, reflecting a holistic approach to advancing knowledge in gerontology.
