Abstract

Family carers have high rates of stress, anxiety and depression, but there are also positive aspects of caregiving. The aim of this study is to explore correlates of caregiving competence, a positive aspect of caregiving, in 146 female family carers. Regression analyses identify that self-efficacy for controlling upsetting thoughts, caregiver preparedness and self-reassurance were significantly related to caregiving competence, after controlling for contextual variables. These findings indicate that mental health practitioners working with family carers should target positive psychosocial mechanisms, along with factors directly related to the caregiving situation, to enhance carer well-being and promote sustainable care.

控制不安情绪的自我效能和对压力源的积极评价与女性家庭照顾者的照顾能力有关

家庭照顾者的压力、焦虑和抑郁率很高，但照顾也有积极的方面。摘要本研究旨在探讨146名女性家庭照顾者照顾能力的相关关系。回归分析发现，在控制环境变量后，控制不安情绪的自我效能、照顾者准备和自我安慰与照顾能力显著相关。这些发现表明，与家庭照顾者一起工作的精神卫生从业人员应该针对积极的心理社会机制，以及与照顾情况直接相关的因素，以提高照顾者的福祉，促进可持续的照顾。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
