摘要:

Evaluation research of a caregiver community-based support program is described. Initially, caregiver-participants characterized their lives as being “on hold.” They were overwhelmed, isolated, and lacking time for a personal life. Socialization activities and learning to care for themselves were the most powerful and helpful aspects of the program. Suggestions are made for developing a caregivers' support program within a home healthcare agency.
