| Annotation | This Swedish study is part of the population-based Kungsholmen Project in an area of Stockholm, and investigated the relationship between stresses (hassles) and burnout for 30 family caregivers and their institutionalised demented older relatives. The Burnout Measure, the Patients Hassles Scales and the Nursing Home Hassles Scale were used. Hassles included: patient hassles (cognitive, behaviour, basic activity of daily living - ADL) and nursing home hassles (caregiver - staff, patient - staff, practical / logistical). The caregiver's characteristics are described in relation to burnout, and the caregiver's most frequent hassles are discussed. All subscales except basic ADL were correlated to burnout. However, regression analysis showed the nursing home hassles to be the most important stresses explaining variance in burnout among family caregivers. (RH). |
