Abstract

With an aging population and projected increases in the number of older adults in need of care, especially those with chronic and progressive disease like dementia, family care is at the forefront of pressing social issues in the U.S. and worldwide. Time use data, including 24-hour time diaries (TD), daily diaries (DD), and ecological momentary assessments (EMA), may be especially helpful for shedding light on the often "invisible" care being given by American families caring for older adults. This review presents U.S. datasets that have TD, DD, or EMA available and proposes areas of future research including charting care and the impact on well-being, as well as expanding data collections.

通过时间使用数据将“看不见的”护理变为可见。

随着人口老龄化和预计需要护理的老年人数量的增加，特别是那些患有痴呆症等慢性和进行性疾病的老年人，家庭护理在美国和全世界都是紧迫的社会问题的前沿。时间使用数据，包括24小时时间日记（TD）、每日日记（DD）和生态瞬间评估（EMA），可能特别有助于揭示美国家庭照顾老年人所给予的“无形”照顾。本综述介绍了美国具有TD、DD或EMA的数据集，并提出了未来研究的领域，包括绘制护理和对福祉的影响，以及扩大数据收集。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging & Social Policy offers a platform for insightful contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of policy analysts and scholars. It provides an in-depth examination and analysis of critical phenomena that impact aging and the development and implementation of programs for the elderly from a global perspective, with a broad scope that encompasses not only the United States but also regions including Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Latin America, Asia, and the Asia-Pacific rim. The journal regularly addresses a wide array of issues such as long-term services and supports, home- and community-based care, nursing-home care, assisted living, long-term care financing, financial security, employment and training, public and private pension coverage, housing, transportation, health care access, financing, and quality, family dynamics, and retirement. These topics are of significant importance to the field of aging and social policy, reflecting the journal's commitment to presenting a comprehensive view of the challenges and solutions related to aging populations around the world.
