Factors Associated With Caregiver Burden in Family Caregivers of Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study
Being a female caregiver and experiencing poor mental health were associated with a higher caregiver burden. Regular health check-ups received by caregivers and good social support were associated with a lower caregiver burden. Older age and higher dependency of older adults were associated with a lower caregiver burden. Based on these findings, there is a need for interventions and social policies aimed at reducing caregiver burden among family caregivers of older adults.
