| Annotation | Research has demonstrated that employed caregivers often experience less strain and better mental health than those who are not employed, however, little is knows about how experiences in the two roles combine to affect caregivers' well-being. This study examined the effects of role satisfaction and role involvement on the well-being of women who occupy the roles of employee and caregiver to an impaired parent or parent in-law. It found that the effects of caregiver stress on well-being were buffered by satisfaction experienced at work, and vice versa. However, women who experienced high levels of caregiving stress and who were highly satisfied at work were especially vulnerable to depression. |
