Abstract

Purpose: In dementia family caregiving, caregiver psychopathology has been frequently identified as a possible risk factor for the use of physically abusive, psychologically abusive, and neglectful behaviors toward care recipients. Yet, the mechanistic role of psychopathology in the use of these behaviors is not understood. The purpose of the current study is to determine the role of caregiver mental health in their daily risk of engaging in physically and psychologically aggressive and neglectful behaviors toward their care recipient with dementia.

Method: We used an intensive longitudinal design to survey family caregivers daily over 21 days. Using generalized linear mixed models, we evaluated the differential impact of caregivers' (N = 453) experience of major depression and generalized anxiety disorders measured at baseline versus 9,513 daily ratings of depressive and anxiety symptom severity, and interactions across levels, on the daily odds of engaging in physically abusive, psychologically abusive, and neglectful behaviors.

Results: Caregivers with clinically significant depression or anxiety at baseline had higher daily odds of engaging in each type of abusive and neglectful behavior. Worsened depressive symptoms (compared to individuals' average across all days) on a given day were associated with increased odds of engaging in psychologically and physically aggressive behaviors on the same day. Worsened anxiety symptoms on a given day were associated with increased odds of psychologically aggressive and neglectful behaviors.

Conclusion: A key finding was lack of a significant interaction effect between depression and anxiety disorders and mental health symptomology on the daily odds of engaging in abusive and neglectful behaviors. This finding indicates that daily depressive and anxiety symptoms are generalizable intervention targets across the family caregiver population and do not only increase risk among family caregivers with depressive and anxiety disorders.

痴呆症护理中使用虐待和忽视行为的机制:照护者心理健康的作用。
目的:在痴呆症家庭护理中,护理者的精神病理学经常被认为是对护理对象实施身体虐待、心理虐待和忽视行为的可能风险因素。然而,精神病理学在使用这些行为中的机制作用尚不清楚。本研究的目的是确定护理者的心理健康状况在其对痴呆症患者的日常身体和心理攻击及忽视行为中的作用:我们采用密集纵向设计,在 21 天内每天对家庭照顾者进行调查。利用广义线性混合模型,我们评估了护理人员(N = 453)在基线时测量的重度抑郁症和广泛性焦虑症经历与 9513 次抑郁症和焦虑症症状严重程度的日常评分之间的差异影响,以及不同程度之间的交互作用对每天发生身体虐待、心理虐待和忽视行为几率的影响:基线时患有临床严重抑郁症或焦虑症的照顾者每天发生各种虐待和忽视行为的几率都较高。某天抑郁症状加重(与个人所有天数的平均值相比)与同一天发生心理和身体攻击行为的几率增加有关。某天焦虑症状加重与心理攻击和忽视行为发生几率增加有关:一个重要的发现是,抑郁和焦虑症与心理健康症状对每天发生虐待和忽视行为的几率没有明显的交互影响。这一发现表明,日常抑郁和焦虑症状是家庭照顾者人群中具有普遍性的干预目标,并不仅仅会增加患有抑郁和焦虑症的家庭照顾者的风险。[老年护理研究》(Research in Gerontological Nursing),17(5),227-236。

期刊介绍: Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
