Most chronically and terminally ill patients are cared for in their own homes by family and friends, rather than in hospitals or hospices. These carers are an invaluable free resource and there is an increasing amount of research into their role and the experiences in caring for the terminally ill, patients with cancer and patients with other chronic diseases. This book provides a critique of the theoretical concept of caring, carers and caregivers. Material is based on empirical evidence from recent studies with adults with acquired chronic illnesses, including terminal illness. The empirical data within the book has been gathered from the perspective of those providing personal, domestic or emotional care to others already known to them by virtue of kinship, co-habitation or friendship, rather than carers organised on a professional or voluntary basis. This new evidence is used to make suggestions about possible ways forward within health and social care practice.Students in the fields of health and social care as well as in social sciences undertaking courses with a health focus, practitioners and researchers in palliative care and all those involved in health services provision for the chronically ill will find this book extremely valuable. This edited book provides a critique of the theoretical concepts of caring, carers and caregivers, based on empirical evidence from recent studies with adults with acquired chronic illnesses, including terminal illness.

Mantelzorg, ofwel informele zorg door mensen uit de directe omgeving van de zorgbehoevende, blijkt in de praktijk vooral op vrouwelijke schouders te rusten. Het maatschappelijke debat over mantelzorg bevat bijgevolg raakpunten met het algemenere debat over de verdeling van zorgtaken tussen mannen en vrouwen. Niet toevallig worden vooral vanuit feministische hoek kritische kanttekeningen geplaatst bij een beleid dat de nadruk legt op de wenselijkheid van een verdere toename van mantelzorg. Er zouden niet alleen meer maatregelen genomen moeten worden om overbelasting van vrouwelijke verzorgers tegen te gaan, tegelijk zouden ook de bijdragen van mannen aan mantelzorg moeten worden gestimuleerd. Deze studie wil een impuls geven aan de theoretische discussie omtrent mantelzorg. In het eerste deel van het boek worden de belangrijkste resultaten uit eerder wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar mantelzorg gepresenteerd. In het tweede, empirische deel van het onderzoek gaat de aandacht uit naar hoe families omgaan met wederzijdse verantwoordelijkheid, hoe en waarom men voor elkaar zorgt en welke ideeën over zorg en familie daarbij een rol spelen. Een belangrijk aandachtspunt is hierbij de rol die sekse en aan sekse gerelateerde verwachtingspatronen spelen bij mantelzorg
