How assistive devices and long-term care affect family caregivers
This study looks at how using assistive devices (like wheelchairs or hospital beds) and long-term care services affects the people who care for them. It uses existing data from Taiwan's long-term care system, so there are no new treatments or medical tests—it just reviews past records.
