“…Furthermore, the findings of this review show that a lot more work needs to be done on individuals with psychiatric illnesses as well as their caregivers owing to the presence of stigma in the community about mental health issues. Caregivers have been found to have different mental health problems due to the burden of care, discriminatory attitudes towards individuals with mental health problems and inadequate mental health knowledge (Ahmad Ramli et al, 2017; Chang & Horrocks, 2006; Chin et al, 2018; Chu et al, 2018). The MHL needs to be comprehensively investigated in student population as well owing to increasing rates of mental health issues in them.…”

“…In this context, social support perceived as adequate or positive may be related to a less stressful situation and may favour the emotional well-being of older caregivers. Thus, emotional problems arising from the subjective burden on caregivers should be addressed as an objective of intervention by increasing social support [25]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no publication has studied the relationship between social support on mental well-being in older caregivers, previously.…”

Background: Elderly caregivers present increased physical and mental health problems. These factors can lead to a lack of autonomy and a need for social support. This study aims to analyse the relationships between perceived social support and mental health status in elderly caregivers aged 65 and older. Methods: a cross-sectional study based on data from the Spanish National Health Survey (ENSE-17) carried out on 7023 people. The study population was restricted to 431 caregivers aged ≥65 years. A study of the correlation between the mental health state and the perceived social support was carried out. Both variables were related to the sex of the caregiver. Results: Perceived social support by older caregivers is significantly related to mental health (p = 0.001), and stress (p < 0.001). Also, there is a significant relationship between perceived social support and mental well-being (p = 0.001), self-esteem (p = 0.005) and stress (p = 0.001) in older women caregivers. Conclusions: Older caregivers have adequate mental well-being and perceive high social support. Perceived social support can contribute to improving the mental well-being of older caregivers.
