“…In addition to the above measures, we collected family caregivers' caregiving self-efficacy using the Japanese version of the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-efficacy (Maruo & Kono, 2014), psychological distress by the Japanese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Hatta et al, 1998), and quality of life by the Japanese version of the WHOQOL 26 (Tazaki & Nakane, 1997). These measures were not used in the present study, but were used in Morimoto and Takebayashi (2021).…”

Although working dementia family caregivers experience negative (i.e., work-family conflict; WFC) and positive (i.e., work-family enrichment; WFE) aspects of balancing work and caregiving, little is known about factors that alleviate negative aspects and enhance positive aspects of the work-caregiving interface. The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of acceptance and commitment to personal values, which are transdiagnostic in nature and key concepts of acceptance and commitment therapy, on the relationships between work/caregiving demands and WFC and between work/caregiving resources and WFE among working dementia family caregivers. Data were drawn from a three-wave 6-month interval longitudinal survey of Japanese working dementia family caregivers (N = 747). Hierarchical linear modeling was used to examine the main effect of acceptance and commitment to personal values on WFC/WFE, and their moderating effect on relationships between work/caregiving demands and WFC, and work/caregiving resources (job control, supervisor/coworker support, organizational support, caregiving support) and WFE. Acceptance was negatively associated with WFC and weakened the positive relationship between work/caregiving demands and WFC. Commitment to personal values was negatively associated with WFC and positively associated with WFE. Commitment to personal values weakened the positive relationships between work/caregiving demands and WFC and moderated the relationship between caregiving support and WFE. The findings suggest that acceptance may be effective in alleviating WFC and commitment to personal values contributes to alleviating WFC and increasing WFE. Acceptance and commitment therapy may help to improve the work-caregiving interface among dementia family caregivers. Public Significance StatementThe current findings suggest that acceptance and commitment to personal values are effective for alleviating work-family conflict and enhancing work-family enrichment among working dementia family caregivers. Acceptance and commitment therapy, which can improve acceptance and commitment to personal values, may help working dementia family caregivers to balance work and caregiving, and improve their work-caregiving interface.

Caregiver self‐efficacy and associated factors among caregivers of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies and caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease

et al. 2021

Background: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms, which can be distressing to caregivers. However, little is known about their subjective distress in terms of caregiver self-efficacy. Thus, we examined the differences in caregiver self-efficacy and their associated factors between DLB and Alzheimer's disease (AD) caregivers. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive questionnaire for DLB and AD caregivers. Caregiver self-efficacy was evaluated using three domains (Self-Efficacy for Obtaining Respite: SE-OR, Self-Efficacy for Responding to Disruptive Patient Behaviours: SE-RDPB, Self-Efficacy for Controlling Upsetting Thoughts about Caregiving: SE-CUT) of the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy (RSCSE). In addition, data on the following features of caregivers were assessed: depression, sleep disturbance, caregiver burden, executive function, loneliness, social support, and distress associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms. The patients were assessed for general cognitive tasks, executive function, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Results: Compared with AD caregivers, DLB caregivers experienced a significantly higher burden in terms of not only various clinical factors, but also all three domains of caregiver self-efficacy. Among the caregiverassociated factors, different domains were predictors of self-efficacy in DLB and AD caregivers (distress due to sleep disturbances in DLB patients; distress due to delusions in AD patients). Among the patient-associated factors, different domains were also predictors of self-efficacy in DLB and AD caregivers (sleep disturbances in DLB patients; delusions in AD patients). Among both the caregivers and the patients, executive function was a significant predictor of one RSCSE domain (SE-CUT). Conclusions: A reduction in caregiver self-efficacy may contribute to a severe subjective burden among DLB caregivers. Furthermore, two neuropsychiatric symptoms (delusions and sleep disturbances) affected caregiver self-efficacy differently depending on whether care was being provided to a DLB or AD patient. Understanding the association between specific neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver self-efficacy may be useful for conducting interventions for DLB patients.

“…We used the Japanese version of the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-efficacy ( Maruo & Kono, 2014 ), which comprises 15 items on three subscales: obtaining respite, responding to disruptive behaviors, and controlling upsetting thoughts. Items are rated on a scale from 0 = cannot do at all to 100 = can definitely do and higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.…”

Objectives Despite evidence of negative aspects of the work–caregiving interface (e.g., work–family conflict) among family caregivers of people with dementia (PWD), little is known about the positive aspects (e.g., enrichment). We examined antecedents and outcomes of family-to-work enrichment (FWE) and work-to-family enrichment (WFE) among working family caregivers of PWD. In terms of antecedents, we investigated whether factors that alleviated work–family conflict increased enrichment. Method We conducted a three-wave 6-month-interval longitudinal online survey of Japanese working family caregivers of PWD (N = 747). We examined the mediational effects of WFE and FWE on associations between participants’ work resources (job control, supervisor support, co-worker support, and organizational support) and caregiving support and their well-being (psychological distress and quality of life). We also examined the moderating effect of caregiving self-efficacy on the relationships between caregiving support/caregiving demands and FWE. Results Our longitudinal analysis confirmed supervisor support had a positive effect on WFE. FWE had no significant longitudinal mediating effect on the association between caregiving support and well-being, and self-efficacy had no longitudinal moderating effect on FWE. Discussion Supervisor support is important for WFE, but greater enrichment does not necessarily improve family caregiver well-being. Caregiving experience (i.e., caregiving demands and caregiving support) has little effect on the work–caregiving interface. Policy makers should focus on supporting companies to create family-friendly work environments. More research is needed on factors that increase FWE and moderate the relationship between enrichment and working family caregivers’ well-being.
