Perceptions and implications of received spousal care: evidence from the caregiver health effects study
Article Abstract:
The perceptions of the amount, timing and manner of spousal assistance were assessed alongwith the amount of strain experienced from receiving care and psychological well-being. It was found that there were few gender differences in perceptions of overall care, and that poorer quality of care was related to increased depressive symptoms and a decreased sense of mastery a year later.
