Understanding burden differences between men and women caregivers: the contribution of care-recipient problem behaviors

Abstract: Background: This study was carried out to determine why women caring for men report more burden than other caregivers, and to further examine the role of care-recipient problem behaviors as determinants of burden. Method: A sample of 557 primary caregivers of community-dwelling individuals referred to a memory clinic was used. All care-recipients had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (NINCDS-ADRDA). Data on care-recipient function, caregiver attributes, external supports and caregiver burden were obtained on … Show more

“…In this study we only found a weak association between state anxiety and being female. These results partly contradict the results of previous studies, which have reported more distress, depression and anxiety in female than in male carers (27)(28)(29). The three factors, being female, a spousal carer and a geriatric inpatient, explained only 25 % of the variance in the adjusted linear regression analysis.…”

“…6 Female caregivers also seem to experience greater burden in relation to BPSD. 7 In general, the findings indicate a low level of agreement between patient, relative, and formal caregiver reports of the patient's symptoms. 8,9 Anosognosia in the patient has been shown to increase burden in caregivers, [10][11][12][13] leading them to underestimate the patient's capacities.…”

“…Selon ce même auteur, ce type d'engagement affectif fait en sorte que les conjoint-e-s décident souvent de manière spontanée, plus particulièrement lorsque la relation de couple était satisfaisante avant l'apparition de la maladie, de devenir l'aidant-e. La perte de contacts sociaux est largement démontrée à l'intérieur de la littérature s'intéressant à la réalité des personnes aidantes (da Cruz et al, 2004;Bédard et al, 2005;Bostrôm & Ahlstrôm, 2005a;Bostrôm & Ahlstrôm, 2005b;Tremblay et al, 2002). Elle prend néanmoins une dimension différente lorsque la personne aidante apporte de l'aide et du soutien à son ou sa partenaire.…”

“…Selon certain-e-s auteur-e-s (Miller & Cafasso, 1992;Yee & Schulz, 2000), il semble que les pratiques effectuées par les personnes aidantes peuvent varier selon le genre de celles-ci. Ainsi, les hommes et les femmes n'assumeraient pas nécessairement les mêmes types d'aide auprès de la personne à qui elles apportent de l'aide (Bédard et al, 2005;Miller & Cafasso, 1992;Yee & Schulz, 2000). À ce sujet, Miller et Cafasso (1992) De surcroît, les femmes à l'intérieur de leurs tâches d'aidante recevraient moins de soutien que les hommes, sur les plans formel et informel (Bédard et al, 2005).…”
