Psychological, social, and health impact of caregiving: a comparison of black and white dementia family caregivers and noncaregivers
Article Abstract:
Both Black and White caregivers are likely to feel limited in their social activities and believe they lack emotional support from other people outside their homes when they care for a person with dementia. However, White caregivers were more likely to become depressed and to have lower feelings of satisfaction than Black caregivers. The study shows how race may be an important factor in the mental health of caregivers and may be considered when extending support to such people.
