Health care Management of Caregivers with Psychological Distress

About this book

Caregivers play a vital role in health management, addressing patients' physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical needs. Care managers identify patient needs, supervise ongoing care, manage medication, provide education, and advocate for patients. Key caregiver skills include communication, problem-solving, flexibility, time management, decision making, and mentoring.In healthcare, patient caregivers are often overlooked, despite their significance in managing chronic conditions. They directly support patients' best care. Caring for a loved one with a chronic condition can be fulfilling yet overwhelming, posing physical and emotional challenges. Caregivers must prioritize their well-being. As researchers, we support caregivers, ensuring they care for themselves while fulfilling responsibilities to patients.
