| Annotation | A postal survey was conducted among family members who provided care for physically and mentally impaired older people in Otta City, Japan. 166 responses from family caregivers were used for analysis. Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated three factors categorised as "Resignation", "Consulting and complaining", and "Distancing". Results of structure equation modelling also suggested a significant effect of "Resignation" on caregivers' mental health. Although the factor structure of coping strategies was similar to other studies conducted in Western countries, the effects of coping strategies were quite different. (RH). |
