Congress is again debating work requirements in the context of programs to aid poor and low-income individuals and families. The last major debate in the 1990s both significantly expanded financial supports for working poor families with children and led to the enactment of the 1996 welfare reform law.

"Die Familienpflege erhält weder in der pflegerischen Fachdiskussion noch in der Forschung zur Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit sozialen Dienstleistungen und deren Nutzung großes Interesse. Pflegemanagement, Qualitätssicherung, Auswirkungen der Pflegeversicherung – das sind die Stichworte, denen die Aufmerksamkeit gilt. Studien zum Tätigkeitsfeld Familienpflege sind rar. Lediglich in Nordrhein-Westfalen wurde eine Bestandsaufnahme zur Situation der Familienpflege durchgeführt. In diesem Kurzbericht geben wir nach einer kurzen Darstellung der aktuellen Kernprobleme der Familienpflege (Kap. 1) zunächst einen Überblick über die Entwicklung der Krankenkassenausgaben für Haushaltshilfe (Kap. 2). Dann beschreiben wir die Organisationsmerkmale und Personalstrukturen der Familienpflege in Bayern (Kap. 3). Es schließen sich die wichtigsten Ergebnisse aus der Befragung von Familienpflegerinnen in Bayern an, die Auskunft geben etwa über deren Berufsbild und Aufgabenschwerpunkte, über die berufliche Zufriedenheit und Belastung (Kap. 4 bis 12). Abschließend werden die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der mit Jugendämtern und lokalen Niederlassungen der Krankenkassen geführten Expertengespräche zusammengefasst (Kap. 13)." (Textauszug)
