“…One of the precursors to explain this outcome is the increasing caregiver's personal gain. It is consistent with the findings that suggest that caregiving satisfaction encourages a caregiver to provide more support [10] [12]. In addition to this, by following the specific advices, the caregiver is helped to apply more focused-coping skills, which later on influence the development of positive relationship focused coping.…”

“…Giving tips in self-care, like taking a time-out, finding social support, eating healthy, exercising regularly and learning relaxation exercises. These support actions increase the caregiver's experienced personal gain, because (s)he experiences less disappointments as the caregiver learns to have more realistic expectations towards the depressed person [10]. The caregiver's short term emotion exhaustion will also decrease.…”

“…Research in this field evolved to encompass a broader focus on psychosocial aspects such as wellbeing [35], occasionally in new ways and settings [36]. Studies combining both positive and negative aspects began to appear [37][38][39] and the complex existential dimension of caregiving came into focus through concepts such as meaning [40][41][42][43] and quality of life [36,44,45].…”

“Self-Employed” in Caregivinghood: The Contribution of Swedish Informal Caregivers’ Environmental and Contextual Resistance Resources and Deficits

et al. 2017

Abstract:Informal caregivers provide the majority of care for older adults residing in their own homes. Caregivinghood, a new evidence-based concept, describes a time of life when relatives provide care at home. These caregivers need knowledge regarding resources to help them resolve the challenges they encounter. The theoretical framework underpinning this study is Antonovsky's salutogenic theory of health. This study had two aims: (1) to examine the salutogenic core concepts Generalized and Specific Resistance Resources and Deficits (GRRs/SRRs and GRDs/SRDs) described by Swedish informal caregivers as originating from the environmental and contextual domain of caregivinghood and (2) to discuss how this new knowledge might contribute to the development of health promotion initiatives. This qualitative and theory driven study used inductive and deductive data analysis. Data were gathered through salutogenically guided face-to-face interviews of 32 Swedish informal caregivers. In addition, the study relied on the salutogenic core concepts Specific and Generalized Resistance Resources and Deficits originating from their environment and context. Being in empowering surroundings reflects the presence of usable SRRs/GRRs, whereas Struggling in impeding surroundings reflects the presence of SRDs/GRDs. The results indicate that health-enhancing support has to be individualized (SRRs/SRDs) and generalized (GRRs/GRDs). This study's salutogenic approach and the methodology enhance the understanding of the mechanisms behind the development of Sense of Coherence. The results contribute both empirically and theoretically to strengthen health promotion research and practice when developing activities and support for caregivers in stressful situations, such as informal caregiving.

“…For instance, researchers in nursing and healthcare domain have contributed several theories to explain those relationships by presenting foundations on coping behaviours, mediating attributes, caregiving adaptation, and stress. One of the theories that has been used to explain these interactions is the Theory of Caregiver Stress and Coping which combines important principles in Lazarus Stress-Coping Theory, Interpersonal Framework of StressCoping, and Stress Process Theory of Pearlin [3], [4], [11].…”

Abstract. Few studies describing caregiver stress and coping have focused on the effects of informal caregiving for depressed care recipients. The major purpose of this paper was to investigate the dynamics of the informal care support and receipt interactions among caregivers and care recipients using a computational modelling approach. Important concepts in coping skills, strong ties support networks and stress buffering studies were used as a basis for the model design and verification. Simulation experiments for several cases pointed out that the model is able to reproduce interaction among strong tie network members during stress. In addition, the possible equillibria of the model have been determined, and the model has been automatically verified against expected overall properties.
