Abstract

Purpose: Compare demographic, care provision, and health-related characteristics of individuals fulfilling multiple illness-related caregiving roles (i.e. multicaregiving) versus singular (cancer only) caregiving and investigate factors associated with caregivers' mental and physical functioning.

Design: Cross-sectional national survey.

Participants: Family caregivers who self-reported illness-related caregiving for cancer survivors only (singular caregivers: n = 465) or for one or more family members with illnesses in addition to the cancer survivors (multicaregivers: n = 109).

Methods: Descriptive, logistic, and linear regression analysis.

Findings: Singular caregivers and multicaregivers were similar on demographic, care provision, and health characteristics. Caregiving group was not associated with caregivers' mental or physical functioning. Several caregiver and care recipient characteristics were associated with mental and physical functioning for singular caregivers; however, only age was associated with multicaregivers' mental functioning.

Conclusions: Uncovering correlates of multicaregiving can help describe who may serve in these roles and how concurrent care responsibilities may influence caregivers' well-being.

癌症照护者多重照护和单一照护的相关性及其与照护者幸福感的关系。

目的：比较实现多种疾病相关护理角色（即多重护理）与单一（仅癌症）护理的个体的人口统计学、护理提供和健康相关特征，并调查与护理者精神和身体功能相关的因素。设计：横断面全国调查。参与者：自我报告仅为癌症幸存者提供疾病相关护理的家庭护理者（单个护理者：n = 465）或除癌症幸存者外还为一个或多个患有疾病的家庭成员提供护理的家庭护理者（多护理者：n = 109）。方法：描述性、logistic和线性回归分析。结果：单一照顾者和多照顾者在人口统计学、护理提供和健康特征上相似。照顾组与照顾者的精神或身体功能无关。一些照顾者和被照顾者的特征与单一照顾者的精神和身体功能有关；然而，只有年龄与多赠予者的心理功能有关。结论：揭示多重照顾的相关因素可以帮助描述谁可能担任这些角色，以及同时照顾的责任如何影响照顾者的幸福感。

期刊介绍： Here is your single source of integrated information on providing the best psychosocial care possible from the knowledge available from many disciplines.The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers. The journal—the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind—is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; patient education.
