How can caregivers fulfill their role as a caregiver without losing themselves in the process? Fulfilling the role of family caregiver is hard work, even if chosen willingly as an act of love to another. While the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll of caregiving is well documented, the high level of self-love and self-care required within the caregiver to successfully put the needs of others first without self-destructing is not. Caregiving can be a rewarding experience for all involved, but the stress of being a caregiver can lead to burnout and exhaustion and, in some cases, financial peril IF an Aging Plan is not in place. Consequently, the stress involved in caregiving causes caregivers to put themselves and their well-being in the background and focus on their needs last. Contributing to the level of stress is the fact that many caregivers are financially contributing to their aging loved ones' needs while also caring for that loved one. All this ongoing self-sacrifice causes a phenomenon known as compassion fatigue, leading caregivers to become the "invisible patient." In The Invisible Patient, senior care advisor and caregiver advocate Annalee Kruger teaches caretakers how to appreciate the blessings of being a caregiver while also looking after themselves. It is not a luxury for caregivers to practice strong self-care -- it is a necessity. Caregiving can be a positive experience IF families better understand aging, understand the disease their loved one has, learn how to improve family communication, and have an Aging Plan. The Invisible Patient provides inspiration, encouragement, and step-by-step guidance to ease the caregiving journey. Kruger leaves no stone unturned, providing personal anecdotes and scenarios about the caregiving process, and includes numerous references and resources in this guide to caring for the caregiver.

Caring for the Family Caregiver examines the high cost and poorly addressed exigencies of the family caregiver in chronic illness, including health literacy, palliative care, and health outcomes, through the prism of communication. This book uses an interdisciplinary approach to identify the impact of communication and its burdens on the caregiver and presents four caregiver profiles: the Manager, Carrier, Partner, and Lone caregiver, each emerging from a family system with different patterns of conversational sharing and expectations of conformity. By synthesizing current data assessing the experiences of caregivers, as well as integrating the narrative experiences of a range of caregivers living through a variety of illnesses and their specific demands, the authors deliver an unflinching gaze at the journey of the caregiver. With an author team comprised of three health communication researchers and a nurse and health literacy expert, this volume integrates literature addressing caregiver needs and burdens, communication theory and practice, palliative care and health literacy research, and the real stories of caregivers. Caring for the Family Caregiver presents the groundbreaking concept of the Caregiver Types and an innovative set of support resources to facilitate improved pathways to better care for the caregiver, making it an essential resource for providers, students, clinicians, policy makers and family caregivers alike.

Given medical advances and greater understanding of healthful living habits, people are living longer lives. Proportionally speaking, a greater percentage of the population is elderly. Despite medical advances, there is still no cure for dementia, and as elderly individuals succumb to Alzheimer's Disease or related dementia, more and more people are having to care their elderly parents and /or siblings. Profiles in Caregiving is practical source of information for anyone who teaches caregiving, acts as a caregiver, or studies caregiving. This book discusses recent research on stress factors associated with caregiving, and what factors impact on successful versus non-successful adaptation to the care-giving role. This is an expanding field in gerontology, and is also of interest to personality and social psychologists studying stress and interpersonal relations. Although there are many books on the cause and treatment of dementia, there has been a book that provides a research investigation into the factors associated with effective caregiving to dementia patients. Conceptualizes caregiving as a multistage career whose impact on the caregiver continues to be felt after in-home care has ceased Based upon a longitudinal survey of a demographically diverse sample of principal caregivers over a three-year period Identifies caregivers who are most at-risk for adverse adaptation to the role Describes preventative and clinical intervention strategies Identifies post-care risk and issues Identifies antecedents to successful adaptation State of the art analytic techniques Graphic presentation of empirical findings Renowned multidisciplinary research team

Active military personnel and Veterans of the military face unique neurologic and neuropsychiatric challenges unique to this population compared to the public. The military and Veteran population have faced traumatic experiences that lead to both physical and mental consequences. Amongst the important challenges unique to this population include traumatic brain injury, increased risk of neurological disorders such as dementia and stroke, and comorbid neuropsychiatric conditions. Unfortunately, many of these challenges also have a negative feedback loop such as brain injuries leading to post-traumatic stress order, which can increase risk of Alzheimer’s Dementia. Unfortunately, there are many gaps in knowledge to understand the unique challenges this population faces.There are many opportunities to improve our understanding of these challenges that military personnel and Veterans face. The goal of this Research Topic is to shine a light and improve understanding of these challenges. We aim to collect knowledge from the global network of researchers working on topics related to “Neurological and Neuropsychiatric disorders affecting military personnel and Veterans.” There are currently many gaps in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions that affect this population disproportionately. This collection of work in the Frontiers in Neurology will give authors the opportunity to share with the global scientific community important research findings that address these gaps.For this collection, we are looking for submissions with topics that specifically address the unique challenges affecting military personnel and Veterans with Neurologic and Neuropsychiatric disorders.

At the Heart of Work and Family presents original research on work and family by scholars who engage and build on the conceptual framework developed by well-known sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild. These concepts, such as "the second shift," "the economy of gratitude," "emotion work," "feeling rules," "gender strategies," and "the time bind," are basic to sociology and have shaped both popular discussions and academic study. The common thread in these essays covering the gender division of housework, childcare networks, families in the global economy, and children of consumers is the incorporation of emotion, feelings, and meaning into the study of working families. These examinations, like Hochschild's own work, connect micro-level interaction to larger social and economic forces and illustrate the continued relevance of linking economic relations to emotional ones for understanding contemporary work-family life.
