| Annotation | The results of an open-ended study on the effects of informal caregiving was compared with data obtained from a separate study that used the same sample but employed fixed-term measures of burden. Informal caregivers were interviewed with both approaches six weeks after the care receivers were discharged from hospital. Percentages, t-tests, and analyses of variance were used to compare and contrast the data. The analysis found substantial correspondence between the results from the two approaches, especially around the negative effects of caregiving. Less correspondence was found on the positive effects of caregiving, particularly with regard to subjective fixed items. (AKM). |
