Concepts in Caregiver Research
Abstract
Purpose: To clarify and delineate conceptualizations of the effects of caregiving for nursing research and practice with family caregivers. Organizing Construct: The biopsychosocial (psychosocial and physiological) sequelae, both negative and positive, associated with providing care for a relative or friend with a chronic illness. Methods: Literature reviewed was obtained via searches of CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycInfo computerized databases through mid‐2002. Key words for the searches were caregiver, caregiving, family caregiving, caregiver burden, and caregiver appraisal. Reports of both earlier reviews of literature and original research were included. Findings: Negative concepts included caregiver burden, hassles, strain, and stress. Positive concepts included caregiver esteem, uplifts of caregiving, caregiver satisfaction, finding or making meaning through caregiving, and gain in the caregiving experience. A neutral concept for describing the caregiving process is caregiver appraisal. Although earlier studies were focused on negative aspects of caregiving, more recent research has also included positive aspects. Conclusions: More attention should be given to (a) gender and cultural differences in caregiving, (b) development of flexible interventions, and (c) the biophysical sequelae of caregiving.

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.
