AnnotationCharacteristics of the caregiving situation, which were identifiable at the time of the hospitalisation of the relative, could be used to predict the physical and psychological health of the carer one year later. These include: self-reported physical health, impact of caring on social and leisure time, relationship to patient, other caregiving responsibilities and perceptions of caregiving.
