This book presents a framework for nurse practitioners and researchers concerned with mobilizing support for individuals caring for an adult or child family member in varied caregiving situations. Part One presents an overview of social support and nonsupport in family caregiving and factors that influence these experiences. Part Two provides illustrative examples and concludes with a structure useful in assessing and guiding mobilization of social support within the expectations of family caregivers.

This part provides useful information for nurse researchers on recruitment of participants and appropriate data generation models.
