C We use the conceptual model proposed by Yates and coworkers (1999) in order to examine more closely the role of live-in versus live-out home care services (i.e., round the clock vs. several hours per week) and satisfaction with these services in relation to the caregivers burden, distress, well-being, and subjective health status.

J. My father, in his 80s, managed to visit daily. B. T. A random stratified sample of family caregivers of older adults more than the age of 70 who receive live-in (442) or live-out (244) home care services through the financial assistance of the National Insurance institute of Israel was selected. Recruited from South and Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, these women sacrifice personal freedoms and take on large debts for the opportunity to earn a better living. As such, this study provides a direct response to recent calls that have argued that, currently, Israel offers only two very extreme alternatives to older adults who wish to remain in their home: either several hours of home care provided by an Israeli home care worker or round-the-clock care provided by a migrant home care worker.

-Have you dropped many of your usual activities and interests? This measure was administered prior to the cross-sectional data collection employed by this study and likely is not a good indicator of the care recipients current status, which tends to fluctuate. There were also direct paths from NPSY to distress over NPSY and well-being, with higher levels of NPSY being associated with higher distress over NPSY and lower well-being. F. Jones Only subjective burden associated with ADL/IADL assistance was associated with the caregivers well-being. Well-being was evaluated by the World Health Organization-5 well-being index. (, Pillemer In contrast to the burgeoning body of research on the relationship between the caregivers service use and subjective burden, the literature on the caregivers satisfaction with services is limited. The sum of impaired activities was calculated to reflect overall impairment in ADLs or IADLs. Informal assistance with ADL/IADL had a direct path to subjective burden and distress over NPSY, with more informal assistance being associated with higher subjective burden and distress over NPSY. Four additional questions, such as my my home care worker communicates easily, deemed relevant based on qualitative interviews with the involved parties (Ayalon, 2009, 2011) and were added in the present study.

T. W. Because eligibility requirements for this study were such that the care recipient had to rely on home care services as our purpose was to compare the two types of home care services, we were only able to examine the role of adult day care center use as an addendum to home care services and not as a sole service.

E One of the most prominent models proposed by Yates and coworkers (1999) suggests that the relationship between primary stressors, such as the care recipients functional or cognitive impairment, and the caregivers outcomes is mediated through different variables including the caregivers primary appraisal of the situation (e.g., the amount of informal support given by family and friends) and the use of formal (paid) support. Davies Lacey -Do you turn down invitations to be with friends and family due to your caregiving responsibilities?

(, Henton The presence of migrant caregivers is thus a combination of neoliberal spending cuts, as well as shifts in the racialization of labor. Those caregivers who lived in the same household with the care recipients were more likely to rely on live-out home care services. Morrow-Howell D. A path analysis was conducted. For permissions, please e-mail: journals.permissions@oup.com. Crosby To compare live-in with live-out home care settings, we conducted t tests for continuous variables and chi-squares for categorical variables. To your friends and family, you may not want to openly express these emotions and feelings. R. K. L A. E. Cronbachs alpha in the present study was .81. In addition to instrumentalizing workers, this trope treats migrant caregivers as human capital, decontextualizing and flattening the many reasons they migrate, and the rootedness of transnational labor migration in neoliberal global restructuring (structural adjustment policies, conditional aid, state retrenchment from welfare, etc.) -Do you find it difficult to prioritize eating well and focusing on your health? Zagorski The NIII does not have data concerning the characteristics of family caregivers or home care workers. Kim In a literal sense, the largest business aspect of this is the for-profit recruitment and placement agencies that charge thousands of dollars in illegal fees to workers who wish to migrate. A. .

(, Browne What observations have you made about Israeli citizenship by looking into their relationships with this group of noncitizens? . M. Range of the entire scale was between 0 and 12, with a higher score indicating greater assistance (Cohen et al., 2007). Secondary appraisal in the form of the caregivers subjective burden and distress is considered a mediator of the relationship between the caregivers objective burden and his or her quality of life and well-being (for additional studies that have used the model, see Son et al., 2007; Yates et al., 1999; Zarit, Kim, Femia, Almeida, & Klein, 2013). (, Geron Unexpectedly, however, net of the effects of sociodemographic variables, primary stressors, service use, and informal assistance with ADL/IADL, those who lived with their care recipients reported higher levels of satisfaction with services and lower levels of burden and distress over NPSY compared with those who did not share a residence with the care recipients. Judy and I explored that she was suffering from Caregiver Burnout. The Cleveland Clinic defines Caregiver Burnout as a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that may be accompanied by a change in attitude- from positive and caring, to negative and unconcerned. In order to detect a much smaller effect of .1, a sample size of 650 would result in a power of .62. Green Steel CG = caregiver; CR = care recipient; ADL = activities of daily living; IADL = instrumental activities of daily living; NPSY = neuropsychiatric symptoms. A summary of all symptoms present was calculated, producing a range of 012. (, Hu This is despite the fact that care recipients under the live-in home care setting demonstrated higher levels of functional impairment. Future research will benefit from identifying alternative measures of better reliability. M. J *p < .05. Asiskovitch In contrast to the burgeoning body of literature on predictors of the caregivers satisfaction with services, potential outcomes associated with the caregivers satisfaction, such as the caregivers burden, well-being, and quality of life have received only minimal attention (e.g., Foster, Brown, Phillips, & Carlson, 2005; Petrovic-Poljak & Konnert, 2013). Despite these barriers, migrant workers take part in vast communal service provision and mutual aid networks through both formal and informal migrant organizations. As a result, the caregivers burden is viewed as a secondary appraisal, rather than as a primary stressor (Yates et al., 1999). (, Ayalon N. T. Roepke As a caregiver, you are not only attending to their immediate needs, but grieving the active person that you knew. Satisfaction with services had a direct path to well-being, with higher levels of satisfaction being associated with higher levels of well-being. (, Okura L.
Cummings R Cauley Lebel Formal and informal care were also allowed to correlate. Various studies have shown that adult day centers, telehealth care, and home care services reduce the caregivers stress and improve the caregivers psychological well-being (Chiang, Chen, Dai, & Ho, 2012; Jepson, McCorkle, Adler, Nuamah, & Lusk, 1999; Zarit, Stephens, Townsend, & Greene, 1998), with a recent review concluding that respite services and programs for psychosocial interventions are the main methods used (Garcs, Carretero, Rdenas, & Alemn, 2010). That study found that about 10% of all live-in eligible care recipients who had asked for a license to hire a migrant home care worker opted for an alternative (Bar-Zuri, 2010). Warner . A. S. (, Musil R. M. A. Finally, subjective burden had a direct path to well-being, with higher subjective burden being associated with lower levels of well-being. Often caregivers ignore their own health, proper nutrition, and exercise which puts them at risk of developing their own medical problems. G. D. G A Correlation Matrix of All Variables in the Conceptual Model. Coyte P. Aggarwal L. T. A. L. Fries Type of home care had direct paths to satisfaction with services and subjective health, with live-in home care being associated with higher levels of satisfaction with services and higher subjective health. Primary stressors were allowed to correlate as well as caregivers outcomes. Nonetheless, the findings suggest a potential distinction between the two types of home care services evaluated in this study, not only in relation to the caregivers satisfaction with services but also in relation to subjective health and well-being. B. E There were positive paths from ADL/IADL impairment to informal assistance with ADL/IADL and type of home care services, so that greater impairment was associated with more informal assistance and a greater likelihood of relying on live-in home care services.

A variety of theoretical models have been offered to account for the negative effects associated with caregiving (Lawton, Moss, Kleban, Glicksman, & Rovine, 1991; Lazarus & Folkman, 1984; Pearlin, Mullan, Semple, & Skaff, 1990; Yates, Tennstedt, & Chang, 1999).
