No full textPOLICIES FOR SUPPORTING CAREGIVERS OF OLDER ADULTS WITH LONG-TERM CARE NEEDS: A MIXED-METHODS SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
No full textBackground
In an era marked by the imperative to restrain costs within health and social care services throughout Europe, informal caregivers of older adults assume a pivotal role as primary providers of long-term care. Nevertheless, there remains a shortage in mapping the various social policies pertaining to both direct and indirect support for informal carers across the various EU member states. Objective: This mixed-method systematic review synthesizes data on care policies related to diverse support forms implemented across EU countries to assist caregivers.
Methods
A comprehensive search strategy was conducted in three electronic databases and grey literature to minimise publication bias.
Results
Preliminary findings of studies published between 2010 and 2023 indicate that various forms and levels of support have been introduced or reformed over the past 13 years across EU countries to support caregivers. Despite the challenges posed by population ageing, there is significant policy development disparity among EU members, with some countries to have established mechanisms aside financial assistance to support carers, while others to only now starting to express interest in developing such services. Financial support, primarily through cash-for-care schemes, emerges as the predominant form of assistance, followed by respite care, while other policies in terms of training and mental health services exhibit a notably lower level of development within the EU social policy landscape.
Conclusion
The review is expected to provide significant implications for policymaking, thoroughly mapping the implementation of diverse social care policies across Europe to ensure the sustainability of informal care

Eva Urban. 'Lessing’s Nathan the Wise: from the Enlightenment to the Berliner Ensemble.'
No full textLessing's Nathan the Wise (1779), exemplary for its enlightenment and humanist ideals, assembles Jews, Christians, and Muslims in dialogue during the medieval crusades in Jerusalem. Their encounters allow them to transcend conflict, to recognize their common humanity, and to resolve their differences through dialectical discourse and group arguments. In this article Eva Urban looks closely at the representation of enlightenment in this play and examines the potential role of plays and theatre practice in developing autonomous citizenship and intercultural understanding. Particular reference is made to the 2013 Berliner Ensemble production of Nathan the Wise in relation to aesthetic debates about modern political drama. Eva Urban is a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, and an Associate of Clare Hall, Cambridge. She is the author of Community Politics and the Peace Process in Contemporary Northern Irish Drama (Peter Lang, 2010) and has published a number of articles on political drama and Irish studies
