Abstract:
With the increasing number of people with chronic diseases and disabilities, the number of family members as caregivers have also been growing. Despite the attention paid to caregiving in recent years, little is known about caregiving among young people, particularly its global prevalence. The lack of information has important implications for health policy and management, resulting in the inability to form appropriate evidence-based policies and managerial decision making. This study aims to derive an estimate of the prevalence of caregiving among young people through a systematic review of the current literature. The results of this study revealed a prevalence of caregiving among younger adolescents of between 1.1% (1.06-1.14%) and 12.0% (11.02-12.98%). However, the assessment of caregiving varies across studies, and all were conducted in developed countries. These results provide information on the burden of caregiving in young people and reveal the lack of global information, calling for more research on and attention to this specific population.
摘要:
随着慢性病和残疾人人数的增加,作为照顾者的家庭成员数量也在增加。尽管近年来关注护理,对年轻人的照顾知之甚少,特别是它的全球流行。信息的缺乏对卫生政策和管理有重要影响,导致无法形成适当的循证政策和管理决策。本研究旨在通过对现有文献的系统回顾,对年轻人中护理的患病率进行估计。这项研究的结果表明,年轻青少年的护理患病率在1.1%(1.06-1.14%)和12.0%(11.02-12.98%)之间。然而,对护理的评估因研究而异,都是在发达国家进行的。这些结果提供了有关年轻人照顾负担的信息,并揭示了缺乏全球信息,呼吁对这一特定人群进行更多研究和关注。
