摘要

摘要本研究采用多层次方法评估照顾老年阿尔茨海默病(AD)父母对婴儿潮一代成年儿童照顾者抑郁症状水平的影响。除主效应外，本研究还关注AD护理与性别、婚姻状况之间的交互作用。本研究结果表明，老年痴呆症患者的护理经历与抑郁症状的恶化有关。然而，抑郁症状的变化在个体之间存在差异。此外，交互效应的结果显示，在未婚女性照顾者的情况下，与AD护理相关的抑郁症状水平比其同行恶化得更快。这些结果强调需要制定社会政策，解决易受阿尔茨海默病照料经历影响的成年儿童照料者的心理健康需求。

The Role of Gender and Marital Status in the Relationship between Caregiving for Older Parents with Alzheimer’s Disease and Depressive Symptoms among Baby Boomer Adult Child Caregivers: Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study

Abstract The present study applied a multilevel approach to assess the effects of caregiving for older parents with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on a level of depressive symptoms among adult child caregivers in the Baby Boomer generation. Along with the main effect, this study focused on the interaction effects between AD caregiving, gender and marital status. The present study’s findings revealed that AD caregiving experience is associated with worsening depressive symptoms. However, there are differences between individuals in changes in depressive symptoms. Additionally, the results of the interaction effect showed that in the case of unmarried female caregivers, the level of depressive symptoms associated with AD caregiving worsens faster than their counterparts. These results highlight the need for social policies that address the mental health needs of adult child caregivers who are vulnerable to AD caregiving experience.
