The relationship between caregiver burden and anxiety in family caregivers of adolescents with depression: the mediating role of psychological resilience
This study emphasizes that caregiver burden is associated with higher anxiety levels, and psychological resilience may play a moderating role in this association, suggesting that clinicians need to include resilience assessment in routine screening and implement hierarchical interventions based on the "burden-resilience" combined risk: priority is given to providing structured psychological support to high-burden-low resilience groups. The final realization: (1) reduce the burden on caregivers (2) improve the quality of care.
