In support of the RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council’s initial report to Congress and the subsequent National Family Caregiving Strategy, the National Alliance for Caregiving, the National Academy for State Health Policy, the Administration for Community Living and The John A. Hartford Foundation partnered to share the lived experience of family caregivers across the lifespan by highlighting their stories and emphasizing their needs to policy makers as part of this endeavor. Show Meet 26 of America’s 53 million family caregivers and get a glimpse of their diversity as a population. They represent various ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. They represent all generations, genders, sexual orientations, income levels, educational experiences, and geographic locations. They have experience caring for people with a broad range of conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, serious illnesses including cancer, intellectual and developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health conditions, rare diseases, and other chronic illnesses. They have varied relationships with the people they care for—they can be siblings, spouses, parents, children, and families of choice from a preferred community. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and given the need to keep those they were caring for safe and socially distant, NAC interviewed these caregivers via teleconference and captured them telling their story in an isolated state. Some were already facing extreme challenges in their role as caregiver, but the effects of the public health crisis added an additional layer of complexity. Each of these caregivers has unique and individual stories about their caregiving journey. Many of them could benefit from services provided through Medicare or Medicaid, public health departments, community-based organizations, respite programs, private insurers, various types of health care providers, etc. Their stories offer an opportunity to better understand how the recommendations developed by the RAISE Council and featured in the Council’s initial report to Congress can be adapted appropriately to ensure all of America’s caregivers across the lifespan can receive the recognition, assistance, inclusion, support, and engagement they need.
Which of the following is an example of eustress?People can experience eustress when they feel confident in their ability to solve a problem or cope with a situation. For example, they may feel stressed about an exam but know that they have prepared enough to be able to do it. Afterward, they might feel a sense of accomplishment or pride.
Which dimension of the Type A behavior pattern is most predictive?1. Type A was conceptualized as a behavioral style characterized by competitiveness, time urgency, impatience, and anger/hostility. It was later discovered, however, that anger/hostility seems to be the dimension that most clearly predicts heart disease.
Who said the intensity and chronicity of human stress?Albert Bandura (1997) stated that “the intensity and chronicity of human stress is governed largely by perceived control over the demands of one's life” (p. 262). As cogently described in his statement, our reaction to potential stressors depends to a large extent on how much control we feel we have over such things.
Which of the following is an example of alarm reaction?During an alarm reaction, you are alerted to a stressor, and your body alarms you with a cascade of physiological reactions that provide you with the energy to manage the situation. A person who wakes up in the middle of the night to discover her house is on fire, for example, is experiencing an alarm reaction.
