Labyrinthine Geriatric Informal Caregiving amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 08
Abstract
The situation of geriatric caregiving may seem easy in the eyes of many if the carers are regularly compensated. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of geriatric informal caregivers through the phenomenological approach to qualitative research. Typically, tasks in the household, at school or in the workplace are complicated by the simultaneous participation and involvement as a student or as a government employee. Thematic analysis of the transcripts showed that investing on priorities determine which tasks have to be accomplished first, and which comes next. All of the participants described the support extended by their family members, classmates/workmates, and the community people as both material and non-material which include emotional and moral support in the form of prayers, sympathy, and words of inspiration and motivation. Material support is through food, goods, medicine, and money. These efforts are vital contributions to them by providing constant assurance of support on finances, spiritual guidance, positive emotional upliftment, and errands-made-easier assistance.
