Burden and Well-Being among Caregivers: Examining the Distinction.
Chappell, Neena L.; Reid, R. Colin
Gerontologist, v42 n6 p772-80 Dec 2002
Assesses overall quality of life of caregivers, using a path model in which burden was conceptualized as distinct from well-being. Findings revealed that perceived social support is strongly related to well-being but unrelated to burden, reinforcing the conceptual distinctiveness of the two concepts. Suggests that quality of life of caregivers could be improved even with burden in their lives. (Contains 49 references and 3 tables.) (GCP)
