Association and interaction between resilience and psychological distress in disabled elderly–caregiver dyads: An actor-partner interdependence model
Objectives
This study examined the association and interaction between resilience and psychological distress in disabled elderly-caregiver dyads.
Methods
A total of 246 disabled elderly individuals and their family caregivers were studied using the Resilience Scale and the Distress Thermometer and Problem List. The data analysis employed the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) method based on structural equation modelling.
Results
APIM revealed a mixed model. Resilience of disabled elderly individuals and caregivers is negatively associated with their psychological distress (association-actor effect), and the psychological distress of other member in the dyad (interaction-partner effect). Furthermore, the actor effect is twice as large as the partner effect.
Conclusion
This mixed model suggests that increased resilience and decreased psychological distress in caregivers may be associated with decreased psychological distress in disabled elderly individuals. Health professionals should design dyadic interventions focusing on resilience and interactions between disabled elderly individuals and caregivers to improve their mental health.
Patient or public contribution
Heighten public awareness of the interaction between resilience and psychological distress among disabled elderly-caregiver dyads. Based on these insights, advocate for enhanced mental health resources and improved policies to strengthen resilience and more effectively address psychological distress within this vulnerable community.
