The current trend towards earlier discharge form acute care hospitals and an expected increase in home care may result in more adult children becoming involved in caring for a physically dependent parent. Furthermore, advances in cancer treatment have led to increased survivorship, which in turn has led to caregiving demands that many exist for several months to years. Family caregiving requires adjustments in daily schedules, imposes financial burdens, and causes the individual members to re-evaluate their relationships with the patient. The book is intended to raise awareness of the stresses evoked by a caregiving relationship.
