Abstract

Caregivers are responsible for the care of another, such as a young adult, disabled child, elderly parent, or sick spouse. Individuals who have caregiving responsibilities must blend the often-contradictory behavioral expectations from the different roles in which they reside. Building on the theoretical foundations of Conservation of Resources theory, this study tests a mediational model explicating the process through which caregiver burden impacts mental health through work-family conflict among a community sample of 1,007 unpaid caregivers in the greater Chicago area who responded to a mail survey at three time points. Structural equation modeling analyses indicate strain-based conflict as being a consistent mediator between caregiver burden and mental health at baseline and two years later. These findings can inform practice and policy for workers with caregiving responsibilities.

照顾者负担、工作-家庭冲突、家庭-工作冲突与照顾者心理健康:一项纵向研究。

照顾者负责照顾他人，如年轻人、残疾儿童、年迈的父母或生病的配偶。承担照顾责任的个人必须将来自他们所处的不同角色的经常相互矛盾的行为期望融合在一起。基于资源保护理论的理论基础，本研究以大芝加哥地区1007名无薪照顾者为样本，通过三个时间点的邮件调查，检验了照顾者负担通过工作-家庭冲突影响心理健康的中介模型。结构方程模型分析表明，基于应变的冲突是基线和两年后照顾者负担与心理健康之间一致的中介。这些发现可以为承担照顾责任的工作者的实践和政策提供信息。

期刊介绍： Work & Stress is an international, multidisciplinary quarterly presenting high-quality papers concerned with the psychological, social and organizational aspects of occupational health and well-being, and stress and safety management. It is published in association with the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The journal publishes empirical reports, scholarly reviews and theoretical papers. It is directed at occupational health psychologists, work and organizational psychologists, those involved with organizational development, and all concerned with the interplay of work, health and organisations. Research published in Work & Stress relates psychologically salient features of the work environment to their psychological, behavioural and health consequences, focusing on the underlying psychological processes. The journal has become a natural home for research on the work-family interface, social relations at work (including topics such as bullying and conflict at work, leadership and organizational support), workplace interventions and reorganizations, and dimensions and outcomes of worker stress and well-being. Such dimensions and outcomes, both positive and negative, include stress, burnout, sickness absence, work motivation, work engagement and work performance. Of course, submissions addressing other topics in occupational health psychology are also welcomed.
