About

    Family caregiving refers to the unpaid and informal care provided by family members or friends to individuals who are unable to care for themselves due to illness, disability, or aging. This form of caregiving is crucial in supporting the well-being and independence of individuals in need of care, and is a common practice in many societies around the world. Family caregivers often take on a range of responsibilities, such as assisting with daily activities, providing emotional support, coordinating medical care, and managing household tasks. However, caregiving can also be physically, emotionally, and financially demanding, and can have a significant impact on the well-being of the caregiver. Research in this area explores the experiences of family caregivers, the challenges they face, and the resources and support services available to them.
