The Hospice Caregiver Assessment: a study of a case management tool for professional assistance

MJ Etten and JI Kosberg

A Hospice Caregiver Assessment Inventory was developed to identify the problems of those caring for dying patients. A corresponding Caregiver Intervention Plan was developed from the inventory data and utilized by agency professionals. Findings revealed the problems of caregivers of dying older persons and suggested that they often need counseling and assistance prior to the death of their loved one, as well as following death.
