Morality in the Making: The Collaborative Relationship Between Formal Caregivers, Informal Caregivers, and Nursing Home Residents
Walker's model of morality provides a deeper understanding of the moral dynamics underlying the collaboration between formal caregivers, informal caregivers, and residents. Traditional hierarchies and a mismatch between healthcare and family ethics are implied to hinder informal caregiver involvement. Our findings call for practical and cultural adaptations on different levels within and outside nursing home organizations to improve the triadic collaborative relationship.
