The Paradox of Care: Family Support and Its Complex Role in the Depression and Anxiety Comorbidity Among Older Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease
These results contribute to the understanding of mental health in the older population and inform clinical practices and policies to enhance home care measures for older adults, particularly those with CKD. As caregivers help older adults with CKD deal with physical problems that may bring shame (e.g., urinary problems), care should be taken to protect the older adult's privacy and self-esteem and not to show excessive concern for these problems.
