“…Experimental findings showed that social support for caregivers can lead to a reduction in depressive symptoms over time [20]. In caregiving research, studies also connected social support and caregiving self-efficacy by showing that caregiving self-efficacy mediated the relationships of social support with some mental health outcomes such as quality of life and depression in caregivers [21][22][23][24][25].…”

Few studies have explored the inter-relationships of sources of social support and caregiving self-efficacy with caregiver burden and patient’s quality of life among patients with palliative care needs and their caregivers. This study tested the associations of two sources of social support (family and friends) and the mediating role of caregiving self-efficacy on caregiver burden and patient’s quality of life. A convenience sample of 225 patient–caregiver dyads recruited between September 2016 and May 2017 from three hospitals in Hong Kong was included in the current analysis. Results showed that the final model provided a satisfactory fit (SRMR = 0.070, R-RMSEA = 0.055 and R-CFI = 0.926) with the data, as good as the hypothesized model did (p = 0.326). Significant associations were detected. Family support had a significant negative indirect effect on caregiver burden and a significant positive indirect effect on patient’s quality of life through caregiving self-efficacy, whereas friend support had a significant positive direct effect on caregiver burden but a minimal effect, if any, on patient’s quality of life. These findings emphasized (1) the importance of caregiving self-efficacy in improving caregiver burden and patient’s quality of life and that (2) sources of social support may be an important dimension moderating the associations of caregiving self-efficacy with caregiver burden and patient’s quality of life.

“…Severity of caregivers’ daily hassles was operationalized in this study as another sociocultural factor, and found to be related to perceiving the timeline of memory loss as chronic. Presumably, depressive symptoms experienced by caregivers may act as a mediator of the relationship between daily stress and perceived illness chronicity (Kuipers et al, 2007; Tang et al, 2015). …”

“…Published papers using this dataset have discussed factors associated with caregivers’ medication management (Erlen et al, 2013) and reported that these caregivers’ self-efficacy mediated the pathway from their daily hassles to depressive symptoms (Tang, Jang, Lingler, Tamres, & Erlen, 2015). This current study adds evidence on caregivers’ illness perception of patients’ memory loss, which may facilitate nurses’ understanding of caregivers’ self-efficacy and medication management behaviors.…”

Background Understanding caregiver’s perceptions of their family member’s memory loss is a necessary step in planning nursing interventions to detect and address caregiver burden. Objective The purpose of this paper is to characterize caregivers’ perceptions of their family members’ memory loss and identify potential correlates within Leventhal’s common-sense model (CSM). Methods This secondary analysis used baseline data from a larger randomized controlled trial. Patients with memory loss and their caregivers (N = 83 dyads) from the community were included. The adapted Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) assessed caregivers’ illness perceptions. Eight additional instruments measured correlates within the CSM. Responses were described; multiple linear regression was used to predict BIPQ dimension scores and logistic regression was to predict dichotomized BIPQ scores. Results Most caregivers were female, White, and spouses of the patients; they reported a range of perceptions on the nine BIPQ dimensions. Patients’ cognitive function consistently emerged as a significant correlate of caregivers’ illness perceptions, explaining the most variance in caregivers’ perceived consequences, identity, and treatment control (p < .01). Caregivers’ reactions to patients’ behavioral symptoms and caregivers’ trait anxiety were associated with perceived illness coherence (p < .01). Caregivers with higher severity of daily hassles and White caregivers perceived that their family members’ memory loss would last longer (p < .001). Discussion Caregivers’ perceptions of family members’ memory loss varied; distinct dimensions of caregivers’ illness perception were associated with a range of clinical and psychosocial factors. This exploratory study demonstrates the complexity of applying the CSM to caregivers of persons with memory loss.

Background: Caregivers of schizophrenia patients have an important role in fulfilling the need of patients. This task implicates on care burden and psychological problems on the caregivers. The quality of life of the caregivers may have important impact on the caring process. This study aimed to examine effect of locus of control, self-efficacy and personality type on the quality of life among caregivers of schizophrenia patient. Subjects and Method: This study was analytic observational with cross-sectional design. It was carried out at Godean Sub-District, Yogyakarta, from March to April 2017. A sample of 102 caregivers of schizophrenia patient were selected for this study by fixed diseases sampling. The dependent variable was quality of life. The independent variables were age, gender, personality type, locus of control, self-efficacy, family concern, family income. The data was collected by questionnaire, and analyzed by path analysis. Results: Higher quality of life of caregivers was affected by self-efficacy (b=0.46; SE=0.15; p<0.001), extrovert personality (b=0.21; SE=0.10; p=0.01), and higher family income (b=0.18; SE=0.05; p=0.02). Self-efficacy was affected by better family concern (b=0.22, SE=0.16; p=0.02) and extrovert personality (b=0.33; SE=0.06; p<0.001). Conclusion: Higher quality of life of caregivers was directly affected by self-efficacy, extrovert personality, and higher family income. Higher quality of life of caregivers was indirectly affected by better family concern and extrovert personality.
