Changes in Caregiver Burden in Older Adults' Caregivers During the COVID-19 Outbreak.
This study investigated the changes in caregiver burden during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The study sample included 827 caregivers for older adults (65+) from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) COVID-19 data set. We used paired t-tests to analyze data. The caregivers' assistance in basic and instrumental activities of daily living for care recipients, as well as the amount of time they provided, increased significantly (all ps < .001) during the pandemic compared with before. Approximately, 40% of caregivers reported changes in the amount of assistance they provided during the pandemic. Financial, emotional, and physical difficulties among caregivers have increased, with emotional difficulties being the most frequently reported. The majority of caregivers reported not utilizing any social services during the pandemic. The pandemic may have heightened the caregiver burden. It is important to ensure that caregivers have access to and utilize social services in a physically and psychologically safe manner.
