Abstract | Caregivers of people living with dementia face strain, reduced self-care, and poorer health status. However, research examining the links among those outcomes is limited. We explored the association between caregiver strain and the impact of caregiving on health status and identified the mediating role of self-care difficulty in this association. In the national caregiving dataset "Caregiving in the U.S. 2020," we included 312 caregivers in this study. Demographics, caregiving characteristics, a composite scale for caregiver strain, and single-item questions for the impact of caregiving on health status and self-care difficulty were used. Descriptive statistics and mediation analysis were conducted. Results revealed that higher caregiver strain was associated with higher self-care difficulty (OR 2.054, p < .001) and negative health changes due to caregiving (OR 2.719, p < .001). Self-care difficulty partially mediated this association. These results indicated the need to explore interventions or resources to offer caregivers to encourage their self-care awareness and activities. |
