The moderating influence of service use on negative caregiving consequences

Abstract

This investigation adapts the social support conceptual framework to examine the moderating influence of community service use by impaired older persons on the negative consequences of caregiving for informal helpers. The model is modified by defining services as a type of social support that can counteract the stress associated with various care recipient impairments. Results from multivariate analyses of data from 401 caregivers suggest that certain services for care recipients can reduce the adverse effects of certain impairments on informal caregivers. The use of health care service by care recipients who are more disabled is related to lower levels of caregiver depression, health deterioration, and social isolation. Personal care service use consistently offsets the negative effects of care recipients' behavioral problems. Additionally, the use of household service when care recipients exhibit behavioral problems is associated with lower levels of caregiver depression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
