“…One qualitative study of caregivers of seniors with chronic conditions identified both barriers and facilitators of resilience, with caregivers’ sense of control, mastery, and support (or lack thereof) playing a role in both categories [40]. Importantly, many caregivers report positive changes or growth due to caregiving, even while reporting high levels of burden [1–3].…”

Purpose The experiences, skills, and internal resources that informal caregivers bring into their role may play a critical part in their mental health and well-being. This study examined how caregiver internal resources changed over a 10-year period, and how this was related to caregivers’ well-being. Methods Data are from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, a national sample of adults, at two time points: 1995–1996 (T1), and 2004–2006 (T2). We identified subjects who reported being a caregiver at T2 and starting care after T1 (mean age=56; 65% female). We examined internal resources – sense of control (personal mastery); primary and secondary control strategies (persistence in goal striving; positive reappraisal; lowering expectations), and social support seeking – and psychological and subjective well-being. We evaluated how internal resources changed over time, and how these trajectories were associated with well-being at T2 using multivariable linear regressions. Results Most caregivers had stable levels of internal resources (between 4% and 13% showed an increase or decrease). Caregivers with increasing or high-stable levels of personal mastery had significantly better well-being on 6 out of 8 subscales compared to low-stable levels (effect sizes [ES] between 0.39 and 0.79). Increasing persistence was associated with better personal growth and environmental mastery (ES=0.96 and 0.91), and increasing and high-stable positive reappraisal were associated with better affect (ES=0.63 and 0.48) compared to low-stable levels. Lowering aspirations and support seeking were not associated with well-being outcomes. Conclusions Practices or interventions that support or improve internal resources could potentially improve caregiver well-being.

“…They are all stigmatized and often feel excluded from the normative “healthy majority” of “common people” (see e.g., Barroso et al, 2014; Liu et al, 2016; Zäske & Gaebel, 2015), sometimes even as iatrogenic effects of public health communication interventions (Guttman & Salmon, 2004). It is moreover worth mentioning that not only the manifestly ill face blame, guilt, and stigmatization.…”

On mountains and prophets: targeting majorities to support minorities by using norm-critics in health education

This debate article advocates for norm-critics instead of empowering coping and pedagogy of tolerance as an educational approach to mitigate stigmatization as well as blame and guilt for health-deviant minorities within the field of health disparities. Norm-critics is a way of making members of the (presumably healthy) normative majority uncover and question their health-related norms and raise awareness for the processes by which members of that majority re/construct images of stereotypic figures (such as “the fatso” or “the couch-potato”) with certain personal character traits which are to be condemned and, in doing so, limit the acting space of those identified as examples of those figures. The approach, its theoretical background, arguments promoting norm-critics, and some suggestions for its practical application are presented. It is concluded that norm-critics render a valuable and much needed addition to the health intervention repertoire.
