Abstract Family caregivers (FCGs) play an integral role supporting older adults transitioning to post-acute care following a hospitalization. FCGs function as advocates, information agents, and most importantly, care managers and providers. Although, caregiving has been traditionally seen as a female role, men are increasingly undertaking these roles and responsibilities. This research addresses a gap in the existing literature by exploring the subjective experiences of male FCGs of older adults in the post-acute setting. Using data from two parent qualitative studies on caregiving in the post-acute setting (N=40), we conducted a qualitative secondary analysis using conventional content analysis of male caregiver participants’ interview data (n=11). Interviews explored the subjective experiences of male caregivers’ interactions with home health care supportive personnel and conducting medical/nursing tasks for older adults. Five themes emerged: areas of abandonment, financial needs, masculinity, organization of care, and preparation. These themes highlighted areas of both confidence and struggle for male FCGs and captured their unique experiences managing the care of an older adult in the post-acute setting. Furthermore, the themes illustrate male FCGs’ feelings of guilt, financial impact, work disruptions, and the perceived effect of masculinity on their caregiving role. Findings can inform clinicians’ provision of focused and tailored resources to meet the specific needs of male FCGs. Future research should explore the evolving experiences of male FCGs over time, particularly those FCGs of older adults with chronic illnesses.

Background Older adults are the biggest users of emergency departments and hospitals. However, healthcare professionals are often ill equipped to conduct comprehensive geriatric assessments causing missed opportunities for preventing adverse outcomes. Purpose To evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the interRAI Acute Care (AC) instrument for hospitalized older adults in two acute care hospitals in Ontario, Canada. Methods This descriptive study focused on evaluating the interRAI AC instrument, which was designed to facilitate a comprehensive nursing assessment for hospitalized seniors. Sample characteristics were described, and Cohen’s Kappa was calculated to derive the inter-rater reliability. Assessment times to complete the instrument were collected as well. Results The Cohen’s Kappa score for the instrument was 0.96. Many older adults who were interviewed had several challenges, including multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and lack of home support. The average time required for nurses to complete the interRAI AC instrument was 22 min. Conclusions The interRAI AC instrument is reliable for use by trained nurses to conduct a comprehensive assessment. This instrument offers a standardized and efficient approach to assess for care and intervention priorities and could prevent adverse outcomes in hospitalized older adults.
