FACTORS INFLUENCING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN
THE CARING RELATIONSHIP
From the syllabus:
Dependants affected by the caring relationship
When a new baby enters a family, there may be some jealousy felt by siblings. Initially, their mother may be in hospital for a period
of time and this unavoidable separation changes the children’s routine. An older child may be anxious and act aggressively towards
the baby. Some children hide their feelings and suffer nightmares, or revert to immature behaviour for their age. It is important for
older children to feel part of the family and involved with the new arrival.
If a member of the family is caring for an ill or dependent person, they may have less time available for children in their immediate
family. Children may feel resentful that their parent or sibling is caring for another person. If the carer brings the dependant to stay
in the family home, as is the case with foster children or an elderly person who requires constant care, the child not only has to
learn to share their time with their parents, but also their home.
Age of dependants
The age of the dependants determines the effect that caring for another will have. There is no ideal age gap between siblings. A
younger child will have an older sibling to play with, while an older child will have someone they can be partly responsible for. No
matter what the age, jealousy or resentment may occur.
When a person being cared for is living with a family, they provide more role models in the household and more opportunity to
develop interpersonal relationships and love. The age gap between the parents and the child or the dependant will affect their
relationship. Older parents may have less energy when parenting and caring, while younger parents may have fewer fi nancial
resources and life skills.
Skills and capabilities of dependants
The skills and capabilities of the dependants depend on their age and level of development. Dependants who have developed skills
to prepare meals and assist in household tasks will be of benefit to the family. Communication between all family members is
paramount to the success of managing the changes that will occur. All individuals should clarify their needs and wants through open
communication.
Dependants with special needs
Some children have a temporary or permanent physical or mental disability, and thus have special needs. It is estimated that one in
five children has special needs at some time in their childhood. This can range from a severe developmental problem, which could
be permanent, to a minor speech difficulty that responds to treatment in a few months.
Most parents experience shock, disbelief and guilt on diagnosis of a disability. These feelings may be short-term or long-term. They
will have to seek additional support, specialist help or counselling for this dependant. This all takes time and it will be more diffi cult
if they are already caring for a person with a disability.
Resources
Resources that need to be managed include time, energy, finances and housing. The resources available determine the family goals.
Decisions have to be made about which resources to use or allocate and which ones to conserve or interchange with other
resources. For example, the resource of money can be used to pay for the home cleaning to be done, thus saving time and energy.
Time
Everyone has the same amount of time available every day. The tasks that are accomplished in that time will depend on values,
goals and other resources available. Time is likely to be limited for a carer with dependants. A parent or carer may stay at home all
day with children or their dependant and not feel that they have achieved anything signifi cant. However, satisfying the needs and
wants and assisting the development of the dependant will have been achieved.
The division of labour in the household should be discussed. For example, a person who takes on the care role of a frail, aged parent
at home may not be able to do the washing and cleaning tasks that they did previously.
Energy
People have greater demands placed upon their energy when they have dependants to care for. Children and adolescents generally
have more energy than adults, and carers may find themselves physically drained while trying to satisfy the needs of their
dependants. Management of the carer’s energy will be necessary to prevent fatigue. Maximum use of energy can often be obtained
using a combination of human and non-human resources. For example, a carer may shop online.
Finances
The government offers payments for families that can assist parents and carers. Families can receive payments, such as the Family
Tax Benefi t, to help with the cost of raising children, as well as the Child Care Benefi t, which reduces the cost of childcare. Full-time
carers of an adult or child with a disability, chronic illness or who is frail aged, receive a Carer Payment, a pharmaceutical allowance,
and telephone and rent assistance. Other payments for parents and carers include Parenting Payment, Carer’s Allowance Payment
and Health
Care cards and Baby Bonus. In December 2008, the government introduced the Economic Security Strategy. This is fi nancial
assistance in the form of a lump sum payment for pensioners, seniors, people with a disability, carers and veterans, and families
who are entitled to Family Tax Benefi t Part A.
Housing
It is usually possible to reduce mortgage payments while on maternity leave. For a short period of time this reduces fixed payments
while relying on one income. Housing is a basic need. As the family changes so too will housing needs. As the family enters the
expanding stage of the life cycle or they have a live-in dependant, they need more space, both indoors and outdoors. Children and
dependants need room for sleep and play. Families should consider housing location with regard to transport, parks, childcare
facilities, medical facilities, distance from family and friends, and location of schooling and employment.
The type of housing chosen affects the overall cost. The family may rent or purchase a home depending on their income and the
amount they have available for a deposit. The type of accommodation determines the cost of housing, for example a unit is likely to
be cheaper than a single dwelling bought in a similar area. The location of the housing also determines the overall cost. Ocean views
increase the cost of housing, while country areas are usually less expensive than a large city.
Sometimes a home needs modifi cation to cater for the dependant. A carer may need to substitute stairs with ramps or install an
inclinator (a chair that moves up and down stairs) to enable easy access to all areas in the home. In the bathroom, handrails may be
needed to help with showering or bathing.
Access to services
There are many community and government groups and services available to parents and carers. However, many families are
unaware of the resources available to them.
When leaving the home to access services, parents and carers have to make arrangements for the dependant. This may mean
having a babysitter or relative look after the dependant while the carer visits the service, or organizing strollers, car capsules or
transport with wheelchair access. With dependants it is not simply a matter of walking out the door. Equipment such as changes of
clothes, nappies and baby bottles may have to be prepared for the trip. This may impose on other resources such as time, energy
and fi nances.
Some remote areas do not have the same parenting and caring services available, as do larger towns and cities. It may be necessary
for some families to relocate their housing either temporarily or permanently while seeking assistance.

Cafs pre reading - influencing factors

  • 1. FACTORS INFLUENCING RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN THE CARING RELATIONSHIP From the syllabus: Dependants affected by the caring relationship When a new baby enters a family, there may be some jealousy felt by siblings. Initially, their mother may be in hospital for a period of time and this unavoidable separation changes the children’s routine. An older child may be anxious and act aggressively towards the baby. Some children hide their feelings and suffer nightmares, or revert to immature behaviour for their age. It is important for older children to feel part of the family and involved with the new arrival. If a member of the family is caring for an ill or dependent person, they may have less time available for children in their immediate family. Children may feel resentful that their parent or sibling is caring for another person. If the carer brings the dependant to stay in the family home, as is the case with foster children or an elderly person who requires constant care, the child not only has to learn to share their time with their parents, but also their home. Age of dependants The age of the dependants determines the effect that caring for another will have. There is no ideal age gap between siblings. A younger child will have an older sibling to play with, while an older child will have someone they can be partly responsible for. No matter what the age, jealousy or resentment may occur. When a person being cared for is living with a family, they provide more role models in the household and more opportunity to develop interpersonal relationships and love. The age gap between the parents and the child or the dependant will affect their relationship. Older parents may have less energy when parenting and caring, while younger parents may have fewer fi nancial resources and life skills. Skills and capabilities of dependants The skills and capabilities of the dependants depend on their age and level of development. Dependants who have developed skills to prepare meals and assist in household tasks will be of benefit to the family. Communication between all family members is paramount to the success of managing the changes that will occur. All individuals should clarify their needs and wants through open communication. Dependants with special needs Some children have a temporary or permanent physical or mental disability, and thus have special needs. It is estimated that one in five children has special needs at some time in their childhood. This can range from a severe developmental problem, which could be permanent, to a minor speech difficulty that responds to treatment in a few months. Most parents experience shock, disbelief and guilt on diagnosis of a disability. These feelings may be short-term or long-term. They will have to seek additional support, specialist help or counselling for this dependant. This all takes time and it will be more diffi cult if they are already caring for a person with a disability.
  • 2. Resources Resources that need to be managed include time, energy, finances and housing. The resources available determine the family goals. Decisions have to be made about which resources to use or allocate and which ones to conserve or interchange with other resources. For example, the resource of money can be used to pay for the home cleaning to be done, thus saving time and energy. Time Everyone has the same amount of time available every day. The tasks that are accomplished in that time will depend on values, goals and other resources available. Time is likely to be limited for a carer with dependants. A parent or carer may stay at home all day with children or their dependant and not feel that they have achieved anything signifi cant. However, satisfying the needs and wants and assisting the development of the dependant will have been achieved. The division of labour in the household should be discussed. For example, a person who takes on the care role of a frail, aged parent at home may not be able to do the washing and cleaning tasks that they did previously. Energy People have greater demands placed upon their energy when they have dependants to care for. Children and adolescents generally have more energy than adults, and carers may find themselves physically drained while trying to satisfy the needs of their dependants. Management of the carer’s energy will be necessary to prevent fatigue. Maximum use of energy can often be obtained using a combination of human and non-human resources. For example, a carer may shop online. Finances The government offers payments for families that can assist parents and carers. Families can receive payments, such as the Family Tax Benefi t, to help with the cost of raising children, as well as the Child Care Benefi t, which reduces the cost of childcare. Full-time carers of an adult or child with a disability, chronic illness or who is frail aged, receive a Carer Payment, a pharmaceutical allowance, and telephone and rent assistance. Other payments for parents and carers include Parenting Payment, Carer’s Allowance Payment and Health Care cards and Baby Bonus. In December 2008, the government introduced the Economic Security Strategy. This is fi nancial assistance in the form of a lump sum payment for pensioners, seniors, people with a disability, carers and veterans, and families who are entitled to Family Tax Benefi t Part A. Housing It is usually possible to reduce mortgage payments while on maternity leave. For a short period of time this reduces fixed payments while relying on one income. Housing is a basic need. As the family changes so too will housing needs. As the family enters the expanding stage of the life cycle or they have a live-in dependant, they need more space, both indoors and outdoors. Children and dependants need room for sleep and play. Families should consider housing location with regard to transport, parks, childcare facilities, medical facilities, distance from family and friends, and location of schooling and employment. The type of housing chosen affects the overall cost. The family may rent or purchase a home depending on their income and the amount they have available for a deposit. The type of accommodation determines the cost of housing, for example a unit is likely to be cheaper than a single dwelling bought in a similar area. The location of the housing also determines the overall cost. Ocean views increase the cost of housing, while country areas are usually less expensive than a large city. Sometimes a home needs modifi cation to cater for the dependant. A carer may need to substitute stairs with ramps or install an inclinator (a chair that moves up and down stairs) to enable easy access to all areas in the home. In the bathroom, handrails may be needed to help with showering or bathing. Access to services There are many community and government groups and services available to parents and carers. However, many families are unaware of the resources available to them. When leaving the home to access services, parents and carers have to make arrangements for the dependant. This may mean having a babysitter or relative look after the dependant while the carer visits the service, or organizing strollers, car capsules or transport with wheelchair access. With dependants it is not simply a matter of walking out the door. Equipment such as changes of clothes, nappies and baby bottles may have to be prepared for the trip. This may impose on other resources such as time, energy and fi nances. Some remote areas do not have the same parenting and caring services available, as do larger towns and cities. It may be necessary for some families to relocate their housing either temporarily or permanently while seeking assistance.
