| Annotation | This article reports the findings from a study of factors related to negative interactions between 41 care-receivers aged 56 to 90 years, recently discharged from hospital, and their family caregivers. Negative interactions were measured as overt conflicts between the caregiver and the care-receiver, and reported levels of upset with the caregiver. Feeling like a 'thing' more than a 'person' was significantly associated with higher levels of conflict, and the availability of a confidante was significantly associated with lower levels of conflict. With regard to upset ratings, more psychological distress and feeling like a 'thing' were associated with more upset; and adequate social support, as well as the availability of a confidante, were associated with lower upset ratings. |
