Abstract

Purpose: To determine the mediating effects of the quality of family caregivers' relationships with their older adult care recipients on the association between care-giver burden and caregivers' mental health and perceived general health.

Method: Participants included 2,431 family/informal caregivers from the 2022 National Study of Caregiving. Mediator path analysis models adjusting for caregivers' age, sex, and race/ethnicity were used to test the direct and indirect effects of caregiver burden on mental health and perceived general health via the caregiving relationship.

Results: Quality of the caregiving relationship partially mediated the association between caregiver burden and mental health, and also partially mediated the association between caregiver burden and perceived general health.

Conclusion: Caregiver burden and quality of the caregiving relationship are influential factors in caregiver health. Strategies addressing caregiver burden and the caregiving relationship simultaneously could yield potential benefits. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, 51(5), 27-34.].

照顾负担、照顾关系与照顾者健康的关系。

目的：探讨家庭照护者与老年照护者关系质量在照护者负担、照护者心理健康和总体感知健康之间的中介作用。方法：参与者包括来自2022年全国护理研究的2,431名家庭/非正式护理人员。采用调节照顾者年龄、性别和种族/民族的中介路径分析模型，通过照顾关系检验照顾者负担对心理健康和感知一般健康的直接和间接影响。结果：照顾关系质量在照顾者负担与心理健康之间起部分中介作用，在照顾者负担与感知总体健康之间起部分中介作用。结论：照顾者负担和照顾关系质量是影响照顾者健康的因素。同时处理照顾者负担和照顾关系的策略可能产生潜在的好处。老年护理杂志，xx(xx), xx-xx。
