摘要
照顾年迈的父母对成年子女来说是一件很有成就感的事，但代价是会影响他们的健康和经济状况。本研究采用布朗芬布伦纳的生物生态模型，探讨了医疗保健困难在护理与健康之间的关联中的中介作用，同时还调查了可减轻护理不利影响的支持来源。研究利用欧洲健康退休调查（Survey of Health Retirement in Europe）揭示，虽然没有足够的证据表明护理工作会通过医疗保健方面的困难对健康产生直接影响，但护理工作与医疗保健方面的困难之间存在重要联系。此外，拥有一个支持系统与减少医疗保健方面的困难也有关联。值得注意的是，与女性相比，男性似乎从社会支持中获益更多。这项研究表明，成年子女为了照顾父母，不惜牺牲自己的幸福。它强调了一个强大的支持网络对减轻这些护理负面影响的重要性。
Healthcare Hardship of Adult Children Taking Care of Aging Parents.
Caring for aging parents is fulfilling for adult children but comes at the cost of impacting their health and finances. Employing Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model, this study examines the mediating role of healthcare hardship in the association between caregiving and health, while also investigating the sources of support that could mitigate the adverse effects of caregiving. Using the Survey of Health Retirement in Europe, the study reveals that while there is no sufficient evidence for a direct impact of caregiving on health through healthcare hardship, there is a significant link between caregiving and healthcare hardship. Additionally, having a support system is associated with reduced healthcare hardship. Notably, men seem to benefit more from social support compared to women. The study indicates that adult children make sacrifices, risking their own well-being to care for their parents. It emphasizes the importance of a strong support network to mitigate these negative caregiving effects.
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.
