Loneliness Among Older Caregivers: An Analysis of the 2020 California Health Interview Survey.
Aging and caregiving are each risk factors for loneliness, but little is known about loneliness among older caregivers. Using the 2020 California Health Interview Survey (N = 7638), this study examined the relationship between (1) caregiving status and loneliness among older adults; (2) sociodemographic, technology, health, and caregiving characteristics and loneliness among older caregivers; and (3) compared how these variables relate to loneliness among older caregivers of persons with dementia versus non-dementia conditions. Findings revealed that 15% of older caregivers experienced loneliness, with dementia caregiving significantly increasing this likelihood. Immigrant caregivers, frequent internet users, and those with poorer self-reported health were at higher risk of experiencing loneliness. Future interventions, such as online social programs that foster social engagement, must be thoughtfully designed to align with the unique situations of older caregivers.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
