Preface
About This Book
Caregiver is a person who takes care of people seeking assistance with their daily activities. Many people provide care for their dependent children, aging parents, or friends and family members with serious medical conditions. The caregivers usually have a sense of fulfillment as they provide physical and emotional support to their recipients. However, in the process of caregiving, the caregivers often neglect their own health and well-being. It is important for the caregivers to take care of themselves as they care for others.
Caregiving Sourcebook, First Edition begins with an overview of caregiving and talks about the types of caregivers. The challenges associated with long-distance caregiving are discussed along with information about long-term caregiving. It provides information about childcare and eldercare and also explains how to prevent the abuse of children and the elderly. It talks about the responsibilities of caregivers looking after patients with various diseases and conditions, such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19), Alzheimer disease (AD) and dementia, cancer, chronic heart disease (CHD), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and mental-health disorders. It provides tips for caregivers to take care of their physical and mental health along with information about various activities, programs, and policies to support caregivers. The book concludes with a glossary of related terms and a directory of resources for more information.
