| Annotation | Using data from a larger study of caregivers of older people, this study explored the extent to which religiosity variables function as mediators of the effects of situational/demographic factors on perceived caregiver rewards. In the parent project, random digit telephone dialling was used to select 136 black and 255 white caregivers of community-dwelling older people for face-to-face interviews. Regression analysis revealed that black caregivers perceived higher levels of rewards than whites, and the relationship between race and perceived rewards was mediated by comfort from religion and prayer. Blacks and whites with more education reported fewer perceived rewards than caregivers with less education. |
