| Annotation | The editorial in this issue of Aging & Mental Health introduces three papers on new knowledge about family caregiving. First, Márquez-González and colleagues focus on providing Spanish caregivers in Madrid with a group intervention that will assist in developing more adaptive cognitive and behavioural skills. Next, van den Wijngaart et al refines current thinking about what factors mediate the relationship between caregiving stressors and caregivers' perceived burden. The third research study, by Mausbach and colleagues, takes a longitudinal approach to understanding the effect of personal mastery on stress, role overload, depressive symptoms and health of Alzheimer caregivers. Not only does dementia caregiving incur great costs economically and in terms of the measured impacts considered in these papers, but it is also a public health issue of great concern. (RH). |
