Illness Uncertainty, Burden, and Capacity Among Caregivers of Children With Chronic Uveitis: A Stress and Coping Theory Perspective
Our findings revealed that both illness uncertainty and caregiver burden may reduce caregiver capacity among caregivers of children with chronic uveitis. Caregiver burden mediated the relationship between illness uncertainty and caregiver capacity in this population. Therefore, this study alerts health care providers to pay attention to illness uncertainty and caregiver burden, as these factors can help in developing effective interventions to improve caregiver capacity in clinical practice.
