Attachment Insecurity and Well-Being in Dementia Spousal Caregivers: The Moderating Role of Marital Satisfaction
Our work contributes to the body of research examining psychosocial factors that shape well-being among caregivers. Our findings may inform future interventions focusing on the marital relationship to improve caregiver well-being; while these interventions may benefit avoidantly-attached caregivers, anxiously-attached caregivers may benefit most from intervention approaches tailored to their specific attachment orientation.
