The Needs Of Older People As Seen By Themselves And Support Providers, Sarah Movius Schurr

Secondly, the disagreement would be strongest on more abstract needs, like life satisfaction and contact with the opposite sex.

The Articulation Of Formal And Informal Helping: The Influence Of Organizational Context On Relationships Between Professional And Lay Caregivers, Priscilla J. Kimboko

Dissertations and Theses

This research is an exploratory study of thirty human service agencies' programs to link their services to informal helpers in their communities. The helpers were persons identified as important helping resources to persons in their own social networks, who were often also clients of the service agency.

Research and literature on organizations suggests, however, that …
