Abstract

Using a propensity score matching approach, this study evaluates the effect of caring on the physical health, mental health and subjective well-being of Chilean older people. The average treatment effect was not significant in any of the outcomes to physical health. However, older carers – and those who care intensely – were more likely to have depressive and anxious symptomatology and lower life satisfaction than older non-carers. Interventions should consider strategies that favour mental health and avoid caregiver burden, considering the interaction between caring and the challenges of ageing. This could improve the quality of life of carers and those being cared for.

护理对智利老年人身体健康、心理健康和主观幸福感的影响

本研究采用倾向得分匹配法，评估了护理对智利老年人身体健康、心理健康和主观幸福感的影响。平均治疗效果对身体健康的任何结果都没有显著影响。然而，与非照顾者相比，老年照顾者--以及那些高度照顾者--更容易出现抑郁和焦虑症状，生活满意度也更低。干预措施应考虑有利于心理健康和避免照顾者负担的策略，同时考虑到照顾与老龄化挑战之间的相互作用。这可以提高照护者和被照护者的生活质量。

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.
