Although studies have supported the relation between family dynamics and SOC more generally, this particular finding is consistent with previous research showing the importance of coping responses, 21 adaptability/flexibility, 44 resilience, 45 and family support 27 in caregiver outcomes. Overall, this finding suggests that strengths and adaptability within the family may be of particular importance to PD caregiver SOC, and additional research could investigate whether the experience of family strengths and adaptability may buffer against additional stressors or negative aspects of caregiving.…”
