Poor and Lost Connections: Essential Family Caregivers' Experiences Using Technology with Family Living in Long-Term Care Homes during COVID-19. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • * Seven focus groups with caregivers revealed key themes affecting their experiences, including inadequate technology, barriers in scheduling, poor tech implementation, and inability of tools to meet residents' needs.
  • * The findings highlighted how systemic issues within the long-term care sector affected the quality of virtual interactions, stressing the importance of improving technology and training to support caregiver-resident relationships during visitation restrictions.

Article Abstract

Long-term care homes (LTCHs) restricted essential family caregivers' (EFCs) visitations during COVID-19, and virtual visits using technology were used. To understand EFCs' virtual visitations experiences during COVID-19 in two Canadian provinces. Seven focus groups were conducted with EFCs. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes at micro, meso, and macro levels. Four themes were found: 1) a lack of technology and infrastructure; 2) barriers to scheduling visitations; 3) unsuitable technology implementation; and 4) inability of technology to adapt to residents' needs. Virtual visitations showcased a confluence of micro, meso, and macro factors that, in some cases, negatively impacted the EFCs, residents, and the relationship between EFCs and residents. Structural and home inequities within and beyond the LTCH impacted the quality of technology-based visitations, underscoring the need to support technology infrastructure and training to ensure residents are able to maintain relationships during visitation bans. EFCs' experiences of technology-based visitations were impacted by structural vulnerabilities of the LTCH sector.
