Caregiving stressors and sleep outcomes among dementia caregivers: examining caregiving gains as a moderator

The findings identified the moderating role of caregiving gains in the association between an objective caregiver stressor (i.e., ADL assistance) and sleep, offering a nuanced understanding of the impact of caregiving gains. That is, the health benefits of caregiving gains may be conditional for dementia caregivers. Further research is needed to explore the meaning and implications of caregiving gains in this population. This line of inquiry will help inform interventions focused on empowering caregivers to recognize the positive aspects of caregiving and promoting caregivers' health outcomes.
