Mixing personal history, interviewee voices, and academic theory
from the fields of care work, the sociology of work, medical
sociology, and nursing, Taking Care of Our Own introduces us to the
hidden world of family caregivers. Using a multidimensional
approach, Sherry N. Mong seeks to understand and analyze the types
of skilled work that family caregivers do, the processes through
which they learn and negotiate new skills, and the meanings that
both caregivers and nurses attach to their care work. Taking Care
of Our Own is based on sixty-two in-depth interviews with family
caregivers, home and community health care nurses, and other expert
observers to provide a lens through which in-home care processes
are analyzed, while also exploring how caregivers learn necessary
procedures. Further, Mong examines the emotional labor of
caregiving, as well as the identities of caregivers and nurses who
are key players in the labor process, and gives attention to the
ways in which the labor is transferred from medical professionals
to family caregivers.
