摘要:

亲属照顾者既是养老服务的提供者,也是支持服务的需求者。由于长期从事高负荷、繁琐复杂的照顾工作,长者亲属照顾者往往面临身心灵社等方面的压力,其多重的社会支持需求难以得到满足。因此,许多国家和地区建立了较为丰富的长者亲属照顾者服务支持政策,具体分为实际性、信息性、社交性、心理和情感性支持政策,这些政策不仅能有效保障长者亲属照顾者的权益,还能降低政府的财政负担。而我国目前的长者亲属照顾者支持政策仍处于探索阶段,长者亲属照顾者支持政策缺乏法律基础,长者亲属照顾者服务供需矛盾突出,补缺型福利特点明显。基于此,我国应完善政策体系和服务内容,为长者亲属照顾者提供经济援助和支援服务,并针对相关政策提供保障性措施。

Abstract:

Although family caregivers can play an important role in providing old-age care services, they are still eager to get the support from the outside. As a result of long-term engaged in care work without any support, family caregivers tend to face a lot of physical, mental and social pressure. Therefore, many countries and regions have established various kinds of support policies for family caregivers, including practical, informational, social, psychological and emotional support policies. These policies can not only effectively protect the rights and interests of family caregivers, but also reduce the financial burden of the government. In recent years, the Chinese government has gradually begun to attach importance to the role of family care. However, the policy system and service content need to be improved. China should strengthen rules and regulations to provide financial aid and support services for relatives and caregivers of the elderly living at home.

Key words: elderly living at home, family caregivers, elderly care service, social support policy
