Bio:

I am Chen-Fen, a professor in the Department of Long-term Care at Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences. Currently, my research focuses on migrant care worker issues, respite services, and related policies for family caregivers. I also study care tragedies, including caregiver suicides and incidents of care receiver harm. Identifying and understanding caregivers, including hidden caregivers, is a crucial aspect of my research in Taiwan.
