The effect of burden and loneliness on depression in female caregivers through purpose in life
Our results suggest that meaning in life is a key mediating variable in the link between caregiver burden, loneliness, and depression. We conclude that meaning in life is a relevant construct for understanding caregiver stress and should be considered in therapeutic interventions aimed at supporting informal caregivers.
