摘要
老年痴呆症患者的照护者(痴呆症照护者)经常会经历高度的角色超负荷(即因照护需求超出可用资源而感到力不从心),这可能会影响他们的心理健康。此外,痴呆症照护会限制照护者参与有价值的社会活动。本研究旨在探讨社会参与限制对痴呆症照护者角色超负荷与心理健康之间关系的中介效应。本研究从 "全国护理研究"(National Study of Caregiving)中选取了 894 名痴呆症护理者(平均年龄为 61.77 岁)。样本主要为女性(64%)和白人(78%)。路径分析显示,社会参与限制在一定程度上介导了(1)角色超负荷与心理困扰之间的关联(间接效应 β = .08,p β = -.05,p β = -.05)。
The Mediating Effect of Social Participation Restriction on the Association Between Role Overload and Mental Health Among Caregivers of Older Adults with Dementia.
Caregivers of older adults with dementia (dementia caregivers) often experience high role overload (i.e., feeling overwhelmed by caregiving demands that exceed available resources), which can take a toll on their mental health. Moreover, dementia caregiving can restrict caregivers' participation in valued social activities. This study aims to examine the mediating effect of social participation restriction on the relationship between role overload and mental health among dementia caregivers. A total of 894 dementia caregivers (mean age = 61.77) were selected from the National Study of Caregiving. The sample was predominantly women (64%) and White (78%). Path analysis shows that social participation restriction partially mediated the associations between (1) role overload and psychological distress (indirect effect β = .08, p < .001) and (2) role overload and psychological wellbeing (indirect effect β = -.05, p < .05). Interventions targeting coping strategies and healthcare-recreation programs are needed to improve social participation among dementia caregivers.
期刊介绍:
These are some of the broad questions with which the International Journal of Aging and Human Development is concerned. Emphasis is upon psychological and social studies of aging and the aged. However, the Journal also publishes research that introduces observations from other fields that illuminate the "human" side of gerontology, or utilizes gerontological observations to illuminate in other fields.
