00:00:00
gender and then talk about a little bit about what we found in our own steady
00:00:05
uh and and why you oh oh i'm on i'm on other
00:00:08
things caregiver care giving has been shown to affect them
00:00:12
the man's hand affect women's ability to work more than one man's ability to work
00:00:18
women make up now about half of the work force in united states
00:00:22
and care giving demands of disproportionately fall on working
00:00:26
age women and affects their ability to work
00:00:29
many will be forced to quit their jobs with associated lost wages and socioeconomic status
00:00:36
those who stay in the workforce will undoubtedly at high levels of absenteeism
00:00:40
and late is that will reduce their opportunities which are promotions
00:00:44
uh and what we finding we're finding in our current work in new york is that very often
00:00:49
caregivers are not willing to say that their caregivers for fear
00:00:53
that they will uh that they will lose opportunities
00:00:57
and so they struggle with the additional stress of trying to get to
00:01:00
work on time while taking care of a person with dementia
00:01:05
and as the population ages and as those of us a worker also aching some of us are
00:01:10
taking care of it'll parents and eagles spouses and
00:01:15
perhaps also children with other illnesses um huh
00:01:19
women are more likely than men to report that kerry giving contributed to or job situations
00:01:25
there are also more likely to record that care giving interviews with
00:01:30
other activities such as leisure activities and and and friendships
00:01:35
uh uh they are more likely to report higher burden then
00:01:39
man and more depression this is from many prevalence studies
00:01:44
but it's also important to think about the relationship of
00:01:48
the person the caregiver to that person with dementia
00:01:51
so most does caregivers an adult child care givers have very different
00:01:56
oh relationships to the person with the mental and the impact of care giving
00:02:00
it's much different and some we talk about male and female caregivers we
00:02:04
also have to talk about the relationship to the person with dimension
00:02:08
oh on one of the most uh that's nonsense things that we learned
00:02:12
when we took our original study which was about their spouse caregivers
00:02:16
and try to uh re do the same study with adult
00:02:21
child care givers we did a study of a hundred
00:02:23
approximately hundred caregivers and state of minnesota and we were recruiting men
00:02:28
and women and out of the hundred three more man
00:02:33
sons of people with dementia or a sullen all
00:02:37
the formal support system programs and studies
00:02:41
of care giving women have working adults then then
00:02:45
show adult child well daughters out number man
00:02:49
uh in the studies and it and number men in the number of people looking for services
00:02:55
so in the original study that we did which was fun started in nineteen eighty
00:02:59
seven and which went on with funding from the national institutes of health so
00:03:04
oh two thousand and ten we were studying spouse caregivers
00:03:08
and uh uh looked at the difference is it into and the the main the mechanism of action of this
00:03:15
intervention which has been has been proved have many benefits was improving social support
00:03:21
so we want to take a good that this husbands and wives worker get rich at the beginning of the study
00:03:27
and we found many differences in how they responded to care
00:03:31
giving and how their families responded to their knees
00:03:35
so far has been was a caregiver the adult daughters were much more
00:03:39
likely to help him then if the wife was the caregiver
00:03:43
but on the other hand if the wife is the caregiver she was much more likely to say
00:03:48
you have your own lives to lead you guys uh i'll do this all by myself
00:03:53
and so the there was a much lower level of social support
00:03:58
oh uh in the in the white caregivers then the then the husband caregivers
00:04:03
what was interesting to me over time was that that record that
00:04:08
is what the difference is that baseline and also by
00:04:10
the way men male caregivers have many fewer friends at baseline
00:04:15
and they were like much more and their family members
00:04:17
however over time what we saw what regardless of the gender each
00:04:22
of the two both jen both sexes improved equally in there
00:04:27
in the mountains so full support that they receive
00:04:30
to the family cancelling that is the linchpin and the most important part of our intervention
00:04:35
so that um uh and and that these these effect we're not different by gender
00:04:41
so even though we started with a much much lower level of of social support
00:04:46
it baseline in the mail caregivers and the female
00:04:49
gigabytes but a higher level of family support
00:04:53
at the end both groups benefited equally so i think it's really important when you do these kinds of studies
00:04:59
to look at the differences between men and women over
00:05:02
time in interventions to see whether there actually
00:05:07
this despite baseline difference is whether the longer to load changes that the same or different
00:05:12
uh so uh i think there to to take away points from this whole thing which is one is that
00:05:19
oh the spouse caregivers are different than adult child
00:05:21
care givers adult daughters it disproportionately of burden
00:05:26
by by here as well as currently i'm more and more women being in the workplace
00:05:32
and that psycho social interventions that provide support can improve the well
