摘要

最近的调查提高了积极心理因素的重要性，如希望，因为社会工作从业人员为患有阿尔茨海默病的人提供护理，以解决与这一角色相关的负担。本研究通过分析27名护理人员与家庭成员在这种疾病早期阶段的叙述，扩展了护理人员适应的研究。三个主题揭示了希望在他们生活经历中的复杂性和中心地位：希望的转变、希望的源泉和希望的放大器。研究结果支持并扩展了现有的希望理论，同时记录了本研究中照顾者的转变、类型、途径、不确定性和结果。

"The People You Are Caring for Are Worth It and You Are Worth It": Themes of Hope in Family Caregivers of Persons with Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease.

Recent surveys elevate the importance of positive psychological factors such as hope as social work practioners equip caregivers with persons experiencing Alzheimer's Disease to address burdens associated with this role. This study extends research on caregiver adaptation by analyzing the narratives of 27 caregivers with family members in the early stages of this disease. Three themes revealed the complexity and centrality of hope in their lived experience: hopeful transitions, sources of hope, and hope amplifiers. Findings supported and expanded existing hope theory while documenting the transitions, types, pathways, uncertainities, and outcomes of caregivers in this study.
