Underlying premise of CIT
caregiving is a dynamic process of change involving changes in:
care activities,
relationship between the caregiver and recipient,
and the caregiver’s identity.
According to CIT the caregivers role
emerges out of a existing role i.e.: spouse to caregiver, child to CG
According to CIT as the needs of the care recipient increase over time, the initial familial relationship gives way to a relationship characterized by caregiving, leading to
changes in the caregiver’s identity
Why does the caregivers identity begin to change?
care tasks that are required to maintain the health of the patient become inconsistent with the expectations associated with the caregiver’s old role (spouse)
ie: changing the spouses diaper or feeding them
How many phases of caregiving are there? What does the last level look like and why?
5- caregiver is returning to initial familial role (spouse) as caregiving is left to professional caregivers in institution.
CIT says interventions to reduce caregiver stress should aim to…
reduce the discrepancy between their care activities and their sense of self.
