Gender inequalities of caregiver mental health and burden in the three years post COVID-19 (CUIDAR-SE Study)
This study underscores the mental health impact of caregiving during the pandemic, revealing gender inequities in caregiving tasks, burden, and mental health distress. The findings emphasize the need for gender-sensitive policies, aligned with the SDGs, to support caregivers' well-being. Strengthening formal care services and promoting shared caregiving responsibilities are essential to reducing caregiver burden and improving mental health outcomes.
