Self-care is a dynamic, challenging aspect to caregiving, but supporting evidence is often limited or cannot be generalized. More studies are needed that include random sampling, heterogeneous samples, and quantitative methods. Additional research is needed to understand how self-care needs, behaviors, and barriers differ by caregiver race/ethnicity, gender, or relationship to the PWD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
