Caring responsibility from the perspectives of older, ill persons and their adult children in primary healthcare

Friday 18 December at 13:00, Helle Elisabeth Andersen defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Who cares? Caring responsibility from the perspectives of older, ill persons and their adult children in primary healthcare".
As older persons seek to live out their years at home, informal caregivers like adult children are increasingly relied upon for support and wellbeing. This may be seen as a consequence of public responsibility becoming more narrowly defined, and more responsibility for care is placed on older persons in need of care and their families.
The project investigates how it is for persons aged 80+ living alone with chronic illness and physical frailty to be cared for by adult children, and how it is for adult children to care for their older, ill parent living alone with frailty. Furthermore, the project investigates how older persons and their adult children experience caring responsibility exercised by healthcare professionals in primary care.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place online via Zoom. Please read the attached press release for more information.
