Description
Nor Islafatun and Moh Heri Kurniawan published a perspective article in 2026 giving a family caregiver's first-person account of caring for an 85-year-old mother after a left upper limb fracture. The arm was set in a cast, and long recovery at home fell to the family. The piece examines what happened after hospital discharge.
The caregiver describes gaps in follow-up care: local primary services played little clinical role, and referrals ran through paperwork. Families were left to interpret symptoms, watch for decline, and handle new complications without structured guidance. The authors recommend a stronger clinical role for primary care after discharge. They also urge formal recognition of caregivers as partners in planning recovery for older women.
