Abstract

The main effects for associations between psychosocial stressors and caregiver outcomes are well established, but little is known about the mechanisms of these relationships. Aims of this study were to examine the hypotheses that satisfaction with family relationships (SF) is a mechanism by which quality of relationship (QR) between adult children caregiver and parents with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) influences depression, life satisfaction (LF), and self-rated health (SRH) among these caregivers. The participants were 716 Brazilian adult children who cared for their parents with AD and related disorders. Regression-based path analysis was performed; a PROCESS, bias-corrected and accelerated bootstrapping method was used to test confidence intervals. The relationships between QR and both depression (B = .3263, p < .001) and SRH (B = .3263, p < .001), were fully mediated by SF. The relationship between QR and LF was partially mediated by SF. The primary finding is that SF is one mechanism by which QR relates to depressive symptomatology, self-rated health, and life satisfaction.

成年儿童照顾者与痴呆父母之间的关系质量

社会心理压力源和照顾者结果之间的关联的主要影响已经确立，但对这些关系的机制知之甚少。本研究的目的是探讨家庭关系满意度(SF)是成年子女照顾者与阿尔茨海默病(AD)父母之间关系质量(QR)影响照顾者抑郁、生活满意度(LF)和自评健康(SRH)的机制。参与者是716名巴西成年儿童，他们照顾患有阿尔茨海默病和相关疾病的父母。进行基于回归的通径分析;采用PROCESS、偏校正和加速自举法对置信区间进行检验。QR与抑郁(B = .3263, p < .001)和SRH (B = .3263, p < .001)的关系均由SF完全介导。QR和LF之间的关系部分由SF介导。主要发现SF是QR与抑郁症状、自评健康和生活满意度相关的一种机制。
