Abstract
Little is known about caregiving outcomes of sexual and gender diverse, including LGBT, caregivers. Informed by the Health Equity Promotion Model (HEPM) and Pearlin's Stress Process Model, we utilized data from Aging with Pride: National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study (NHAS), to examine perceived stress among a sample of 754 sexual and gender diverse caregivers using regressions on background and caregiving characteristics and risk and protective factors. Among caregivers, 38% were providing care to a spouse or partner and about one-third to a friend (29%). Higher stress was associated with younger age, lower income, higher education, partner/spouse care, personal care provision, longer caregiving hours, and caregiver cognitive impairment. After including the risk and protective factors from HEPM, victimization, social support, and community engagement significantly predicted perceived stress. Findings contribute to emergent research on caregiving in diverse populations.
期刊介绍：
Research on Aging is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. Research on Aging exists to provide for publication of research in the broad range of disciplines concerned with aging. Scholars from the disciplines of sociology, geriatrics, history, psychology, anthropology, public health, economics, political science, criminal justice, and social work are encouraged to contribute articles to the journal. Emphasis will be on materials of broad scope and cross-disciplinary interest. Assessment of the current state of knowledge is as important as provision of an outlet for new knowledge, so critical and review articles are welcomed. Systematic attention to particular topics will also be featured.
