Article Title: Psychological impact of caregiving on the careprovider: A critical review of extant research
Abstract: Provides a critical methodological review of studies on the psychological burdens and consequences of being a caregiver for patients with chronic debilitating illnesses. Limitations in existing studies are examined, and the approaches that have been employed to measure the impact of providing care are reviewed. The research is shown to be subject to a number of methodological shortcomings that restrict the generalizability of the findings, compromise the integrity of the inferences that may be drawn from the findings, and impede the development of explanatory models of the psychological impact of the caregiver role.
