| Annotation | This study, based on a sample of 221 older women and men in New York State, explores factors associated with anticipatory caregiving anxiety using a scale developed by Cicirelli (1988). Results show that even the anticipation of providing care evokes anxiety. It was found that women have higher levels of anxiety than men, individuals who have served as caregivers have higher levels of anxiety than those who have never provided care to family members, and that individuals who are in better health and have more income have lower levels of anxiety than those with less health or income. Implications for services to support caregivers and long term care reform are discussed. (KJ/RH). |
