People with dementia (PWD) have a higher risk of hospitalization than people without dementia. Hospitalizations are stressful events for PWD and their caregivers, representing a considerable change to their routines. The current descriptive longitudinal study aimed to identify the positive and negative reactions, experiences related to health and social integrated care, resource use, and work status of family caregivers of PWD or cognitive impairment admitted to the hospital with a proximal femur fracture undergoing surgery. Findings indicated that family caregivers (N = 174) are fully committed to providing assistance in activities of daily living and supervision, showing positive attitudes on self-esteem and negative attitudes toward lack of family support and impact on finances, schedule, and health. Overall caregiver experiences with integrated health and social care improved after hospitalization but decreased after discharge. One month after hospitalization, family caregivers maintained the same work hours but used fewer health care resources. Hospitalization represents a good opportunity to approach family caregivers and determine their needs to provide them with interventions to minimize their burden and improve their well-being.

痴呆症或认知障碍患者住院对家庭护理人员的影响。

痴呆症患者 (PWD) 比非痴呆症患者住院的风险更高。对于残疾人及其护理人员来说，住院治疗是一件充满压力的事情，意味着他们的日常生活发生了巨大的变化。目前的描述性纵向研究旨在确定因股骨近端骨折住院接受手术的残疾人或认知障碍患者的家庭护理人员的积极和消极反应、与健康和社会综合护理相关的经验、资源使用和工作状态。调查结果表明，家庭照顾者（N = 174）完全致力于在日常生活活动和监督方面提供帮助，对自尊表现出积极态度，对缺乏家庭支持以及对财务、日程和健康的影响表现出消极态度。综合健康和社会护理的总体护理体验在住院后有所改善，但在出院后有所下降。住院一个月后，家庭护理人员保持相同的工作时间，但使用的医疗资源减少。住院是一个很好的机会，可以接触家庭护理人员并确定他们的需求，为他们提供干预措施，以减轻他们的负担并改善他们的福祉。[老年护理研究，16(6), 283-290.]。
