| Annotation | This study examined the role that faith-based organizations play for caregivers in maintaining older adults and those with disabilities in their homes. The study explored whether people who use religious beliefs and practices cope with caregiver stress better than those who do not use religious beliefs and practices. The study also explored the role of religious coping as a factor affecting decisions to institutionalise, and the role that faith-based practices and organizations play in helping caregivers maintain those that they care for in their homes.
