摘要
This paper examines the emotional experience of informal caregivers to family members who are chronically confused. Six informal caregivers were taken from the caseloads of community mental health nurses working with elderly people. Data were collected by means of a daily diary and in-depth interviews relating to their emotional experience as caregivers. The data are presented in the form of six vignettes and the implications for theory, practice and research in community mental health nursing are examined.
