Perceived technology usefulness for caregiving among unpaid caregivers: a National Cross-Sectional Study
Findings indicate caregiver characteristics, caregiving dynamics, and available resources (financial and caregiving support) are associated with perceptions about the usefulness of technology for caregiving. The utility of technology for caregiving may be higher among unpaid caregivers with more caregiver strain or positive experiences with caregiving support.
