Nearly 53 million family caregivers in the United States provide care to older adults, performing tasks ranging from meal preparation and grocery shopping, to wound care and medication management. While caregivers are critical to the health care system, they are not adequately supported to serve in this role. Successfully integrating family caregivers into the health care team and supporting their health and well-being is a public health priority and should be a focus for clinical education programs. To address this gap, the Family Caregiving Institute at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing at UC Davis developed the Interprofessional Family Caregiving Competencies as a framework to guide the development of curricula to enhance health care providers' skills, knowledge, and abilities in family caregiving. Twenty-one competencies are categorized within the following four domains: the nature of family caregiving; family caregiving identification and assessment; providing family-centered care; and the context of family caregiving.

Awareness, knowledge, and attitudes of the Belgian general population towards paternal perinatal depression: a descriptive cross-sectional study.
Front Psychiatry

Department of Public Health, Biostatistics and Medical Informatics Research Group, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium.
Background: Paternal perinatal depression affects 10% of fathers, implying a significant burden on families and public health. A better insight into the population's health literacy could guide professionals and policymakers in addressing these men and making better use of existing healthcare options. It is also crucial for caregivers, as they play a vital role in identifying symptoms, encouraging help-seeking, and reducing stigma.

University of New South Wales, NSWAustralia.
Objectives: Despite practice development in the area of advanced care planning (ACP) and systems wide changes implemented to support ACP processes, there has been a paucity of research which has addressed the experiences of a key stakeholder group - family and carers - as they navigate their way through these often very challenging processes. The study described in this article focussed on this key group.
Methods: In-depth qualitative interviews were undertaken with family members and carers in a regional area of Australia in order to illuminate their lived experiences of ACP processes.

This study examined if considerably different caregiving experiences in infancy influence socio-emotional development later in childhood. We included children aged 6-9 years who were, immediately after birth, placed in quality state-run institutions (N = 24) or quality state-run foster care with one family (N = 23). All children have lived in stable families since their adoption before 15 months of age.

Validating the RISE Communication Play Protocol as a Diagnostic Tool for Autism in Early Childhood: A Pilot Study.

Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston, MA, USA.
There are few validated remote tools that can be used to assess for autism and to capture subtle changes in children's social communication over time. Recently, user-centered design principles were applied to develop a parent-mediated remote assessment, the Reciprocal Imitation and Social Engagement Child Play Protocol (RISE CPP) to enable researchers to capture micro-level behaviors in children, while promoting useability for researchers and families, reducing caregiver burden, and maintaining reliability. This paper describes a pilot study to validate the RISE CPP as a tool to support clinician diagnosis of autism.
