Beyond the sandwich generation: the lived experiences of older Prince Edward Island women caregivers caring for an older adult
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research examined the experiences of older Prince Edward Island women in providing care to an aging parent, partner, family member, or friend. I investigated these experiences using a feminist lens to recognize the valuable experience of women and use their voice in bringing attention to the issues related to caregiving. This study was designed to answer three research questions: \n1) What is the experience of older female caregivers living on Prince Edward Island? \n2) What does it mean to be caregiver? \n3) How do Prince Edward Island women describe caregiving? \nThese questions were designed to determine what experiences, meaning, and description caregivers assign to their work and what can be learned from these experiences. \nPrevious research in the field of caregiving has largely focused on quantitative measures of caregiver burden, activities of daily living, or access rates for caregiver support. I conducted one-to-one, in-depth interviews based on open-ended questions designed to encourage participants to share their experience. This qualitative study has advanced understanding of the caregiver experience on Prince Edward Island by highlighting the challenges faced in providing care, as well as the positive growth associated with the role. \nThe findings offer insights in engaging family caregivers in policy and strategy development and implementation. It also offers a vision for the continued integration of social work services for aging Islanders and their families. The need for specific skills and training in gerontological social work, including a focus in end-of-life care, advocacy, and counseling support has been demonstrated.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
