Using the demand–control model of job strain to predict caregiver burden and caregiver satisfaction in the informal caregivers of heart failure patients

Abstract

Objectives The demand–control (D–C) model of job strain has generated a considerable body of empirical support in predicting psychological health outcomes in the context of work. This study aimed to extend previous work using the D–C model of job strain to predict caregiver burden and satisfaction in the informal caregivers of patients with heart failure. Design and method Data were gathered from 60 caregiver/patient dyads in a cross‐sectional design. Patients with chronic stable heart failure were recruited from out‐patient clinics. The dependent variables were caregiver burden and satisfaction. Demand and control were measured using both patient‐ and caregiver‐derived measures. Results The D–C model accounted for 15 and 19% of the variance in caregiver burden, after controlling for age, gender and relationship to the patient. Lower control was associated with higher burden. The D–C model did not predict caregiver satisfaction. Conclusion The D–C model was associated with caregiver burden, but not satisfaction in caregivers, with control being the dominant predictor. Research linking the theory and findings from job strain and informal caregiving studies may elucidate both fields of research. Using the demand–control model of job strain to predict caregiver burden and caregiver satisfaction in the informal caregivers of heart failure patients.

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.
