AB - The study was carried out to identify whether or to what extent there is agreement between impaired elders and their primary caregivers with respect to their knowledge, attitudes, and opinions regarding long-term care. Three instruments were measured: 1) knowledge of the burdens on caregivers; 2) attitudes toward parent care; and 3) opinions on future-use of long-term care services. The study found statistically significant differences between patients and caregivers in their knowledge, attitudes, and opinions regarding long-term care, indicating that family proxy assessments might not reflect patients’ knowledge, attitudes, and opinions on long-term care.
Accordingly, the study provides support for the proposal of legalizing proxy appointments to raise accuracy and dependability of family proxy assessments.
