摘要：Few studies have compared pain management provided by informal and formal caregivers of older adults in China at the end of life. This study aims to address this gap by investigating the association between formal and informal care and painfulness at the end of life among older adults in China. Specifically, the study focuses on the influence of various types of informal care. Data were obtained from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) conducted from 2002 to 2018, which is the largest nationally representative study of older adults in China, with a sample size of 21,849 deceased participants. Results from multiple logistic regressions suggest that informal care is associated with a more painful end-of-life experience compared to formal care, with care provided by adult children being a more favorable option within informal care. These findings underscore the urgent need to prioritize education on death and dying, improve the formal care system, and enhance professionalism within informal care.
