Abstract

The authors aimed to assess the impact of a family caregiver support intervention on caregiver burden and hospital readmission before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. By adopting a quasi-experimental design with no randomization, caregivers (n = 65) received a 90-day home visitation caregiver support intervention before the COVID-19 pandemic and caregivers (n = 41) received a 90-day phone-only visitation caregiver support intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Caregiver burden was collected in a survey, and hospital readmission of the care recipient was collected by hospital data. The results of a repeated-measures ANOVA demonstrated that participants of a family caregiver support intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic improved their caregiver burden statistically significantly more than those who received the intervention before the pandemic. There were no significant differences in hospital readmissions before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study demonstrates the efficacy of family caregiver support interventions over the phone during a pandemic.

新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间家庭护理人员支持干预措施的有效性。

作者旨在评估新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间家庭护理人员支持干预对护理人员负担和重新入院的影响。通过采用无随机化的准实验设计，照顾者（n = 65）在新冠肺炎大流行前接受了90天的家访护理人员支持干预，护理人员（n = 41）在新冠肺炎大流行期间接受了90天的电话探访护理人员支持干预。在一项调查中收集了护理人员的负担，并根据医院数据收集了护理对象的再次入院情况。重复测量方差分析的结果表明，新冠肺炎大流行期间家庭护理人员支持干预的参与者在统计上比大流行前接受干预的参与者改善了护理人员负担。在新冠肺炎大流行之前或期间，再次入院率没有显著差异。这项研究证明了在疫情期间通过电话进行家庭护理支持干预的有效性。

期刊介绍： Social Work in Public Health (recently re-titled from the Journal of Health & Social Policy to better reflect its focus) provides a much-needed forum for social workers and those in health and health-related professions. This crucial journal focuses on all aspects of policy and social and health care considerations in policy-related matters, including its development, formulation, implementation, evaluation, review, and revision. By blending conceptual and practical considerations, Social Work in Public Health enables authors from many disciplines to examine health and social policy issues, concerns, and questions.
