Abstract

Informal caregiving can impair caregivers' subjective well-being. However, this issue has been overlooked among young adults. We examined the association between informal caregiving and subjective well-being among young adults in Japan. This cross-sectional study included 3496 individuals aged 18 to 29 years who participated in the Survey on Satisfaction and Quality of Life, a nationwide online survey by the Cabinet Office of Japan, between 2019 and 2020. Three aspects of subjective well-being were evaluated: life satisfaction, social relationship satisfaction, and health status satisfaction. Participants were divided into three groups based on their engagement in caregiving: "non-caregiver," "potential caregiver" (having a family member who needs care but the participants were not engaged in caregiving), and "caregiver." Consequently, 283 (8.1%) participants were potential caregivers and 53 (1.5%) were caregivers. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that compared with non-caregivers, caregivers exhibited significantly lower satisfaction with social relationships and health status, but not life satisfaction. These findings suggest psychosocial disadvantages for young adult caregivers, highlighting the importance of support for them.

日本年轻的成年照顾者和主观幸福感:满意度和生活质量调查的结果。
非正规护理会损害护理者的主观幸福感。然而,这个问题在年轻人中一直被忽视。我们研究了日本年轻人中非正式护理与主观幸福感之间的关系。这项横断面研究纳入了 3496 名年龄在 18 岁至 29 岁之间的人,他们参加了日本内阁府在 2019 年至 2020 年期间进行的全国性在线调查 "生活满意度和质量调查"。对主观幸福感的三个方面进行了评估:生活满意度、社会关系满意度和健康状况满意度。根据参与护理的情况,参与者被分为三组:"非照顾者"、"潜在照顾者"(有需要照顾的家庭成员,但参与者未参与照顾)和 "照顾者"。因此,283 名参与者(8.1%)是潜在的照顾者,53 名参与者(1.5%)是照顾者。多变量线性回归分析表明,与非照顾者相比,照顾者对社会关系和健康状况的满意度明显较低,但对生活的满意度却不高。这些研究结果表明,年轻的成年照顾者在社会心理方面处于不利地位,这凸显了为他们提供支持的重要性。
