20.500.12556/RUL-154210 Adolescent young carers who provide care to siblings A child’s disability, long-term illness, or mental ill-health is known to affect siblings’ health, social life, school engagement, and quality of life. This article addresses a research gap by its focus on young sibling carers and the impact of providing care to a sibling. A cross-national survey study was conducted in 2018–2019 (Italy, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK) to examine the incidence of adolescent sibling carers, the extent of care they provide, and their self-reported health, well-being, and school situation. The survey was completed by 7146 adolescents, aged 15–17, and 1444 of them provided care to family members with health-related conditions. Out of these, 286 were identified as Sibling Carers and 668 as Parent Carers, while 181 had both sibling(s) and parent(s) with health-related conditions, and thus were identified as Sibling–Parent Carers. Sibling Carers and Sibling–Parent Carers carried out higher levels of caring activities compared to Parent Carers. They reported both positive aspects of caring, such as increased maturity, and negative aspects, such as mental ill-health, impact on schooling and a lack of support. To reduce the negative aspects of a sibling carer role, it is important to recognise them and to implement early preventive measures and formal support. sibling carer young carer school outcomes mental health well-being quality of life support dolgotrajna oskrba najstniki bratje in sestre duševno zdravje dobro počutje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-02-01 10:13:07 2024-02-01 10:13:10 2024-02-08 03:54:39 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1-13 issue 3, [article no.] 316 Vol. 12 Feb. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 364-47-053.6 2227-9032 10.3390/healthcare12030316 182808579 Hlebec_et_al_HC_2.pdf Hlebec_et_al_HC_2.pdf 1 3D8E3F079D8047BB5782BFC907E47DAD 210c44774ff1abc12923da71ad49b77cc208c73b6095c5d8ed198d70abe0d1ab e2df3ad7-c0e2-11ee-9ffb-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=180468 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/12/3/316 0 ec54436b-c0e2-11ee-9ffb-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=180469 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
