Competency in Nursing and Social Worker in Health Care Field: A Concept Analysis
Abstract
INFORMAL CAREGIVERS
primarily family members—are the foundation of rehabilitation, chronic care, and long-term support for older persons. The growing population of older persons and the changing health care delivery system (for example, shortened hospital stays) demand more of family caregivers and increase the toll on their health (Pinquart & Sorensen, 2007). To help them cope with these demands, nurses and social workers, who treat diverse older populations, must have cultural competence to enable them to practice effectively with caregivers (Pinquart & Sorensen, 2005).
