20.500.12556/RUL-134457 Sustainable care in a familialist regime coping with elderly care in Slovenia In countries with prevalent family care and less developed care services, it is important to understand the ways families cope with the care needs of their frail family members as part of policy learning to make care systems more sustainable. Filial care is a vital element of family care, yet is significantly restrained by the involvement of carers in the labour market; unequal gender distribution of the care burden; and insufficient recognition of, and policy support, for family care. This article considered the issue of the sustainability of elderly care in a familialist country, Slovenia, by identifying the coping strategies families adopt for the provision of care. To this end, in-depth qualitative databased on a purposeful sample of 55 community-resident users of social home care services and their 55 family carers were used. We identified five external coping strategies: use of formal care services, use of extended family network, use of wider community network, cohabitation, and home adjustments. Among internal strategies, we detected work-related adjustments; abandoning leisure activities; abandoning vacations; establishing new routines; accepting and finding satisfaction in care; increased psychological distress, such as worries and overburdening; and some unmet care recipient needs. Very few strategies may be described as supported by policy actions, despite such support being essential for increasing the sustainability of the family-based care model. care system familialism Slovenia coping strategies carers care users nega starostnikov nega na domu družina negovalci Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-01-17 08:06:37 2022-01-17 08:06:47 2022-09-13 03:55:17 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2020 0 0 15 str. iss. 20, art. 8498 Vol. 12 2020 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 364-783(497.4) 2071-1050 10.3390/su12208498 33006595 RAZ_Filipovic_Hrast_Masa_2020.pdf RAZ_Filipovic_Hrast_Masa_2020.pdf 1 D501BC44D8E7A82FC7943E77816EABB9 b6267fee5b01caf1d9ac97a8e2187da7bc62b396d82eb0055268c91efb0f5bc9 c0c0fe23-7764-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=152917 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/20/8498 0 0a9c0d73-7764-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=152916 Fakulteta za družbene vede Zdravstvena fakulteta 0 0 0
