| Annotation | Using the strengths-based Caregiver Well-Being Scale, this research provides social workers with strategies for assessing and promoting caregiver well-being. 118 family caregivers (64 spouse and 54 adult child caregivers) are used to examine caregiver relationships to the care-recipient; a further 138 caregivers are included in the analysis for co-residential arrangement with the care recipient. Predictors of well-being are highlighted for each group. Caregiver competence and depression predict well-being for spouse, adult child and non-resident care givers. Depression is the only predictor for co-resident caregivers. Using the activities of living sub-scale, depression predicts well-being for all groups. Additionally, caregiver strain relates to spouse well-being. (RH). |
