BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Few studies have simultaneously compared caregivers in all stages of the adult life course. This study examined age differences in associations among primary stressors (caregiver burden which includes hours of provided care and number of activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living performed), secondary stressors (financial and employment strains), and caregiver outcomes (emotional strain and physical strain). RESEARCH DESIGN Using Pearlin's Stress Process Model (1990) and the Caregiving in the United States 2015 dataset, 1,156 caregivers were identified (including 278 young adults aged 18-39 years, 464 midlife adults aged 40-59 years, and 414 older adults aged 60-80 years). RESULTS Post hoc analyses revealed that compared to older adults, young adults reported less caregiver burden, less physical strain, and greater financial strain. Linear regression analyses revealed associations between caregiver burden and financial strain with emotional and physical strain for all respondents. DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS Findings emphasize the need for age-specific interventions.

年轻、中年和老年家庭照顾者的相关压力源和结果的年龄差异和相似性。

背景和目标 很少有研究同时比较成人生命过程各个阶段的照料者。该研究检查了主要压力源（照顾者负担，包括提供的护理时间和日常生活活动的数量以及日常生活的工具性活动）、次要压力源（财务和就业压力）和照顾者结果（情绪压力）之间的年龄差异和身体压力）。研究设计 使用 Pearlin 的压力过程模型 (1990) 和美国 2015 年的护理数据集，确定了 1,156 名护理人员（包括 278 名 18-39 岁的年轻人、464 名 40-59 岁的中年成年人和 414 名 60 岁的老年人） -80 年）。结果 事后分析显示，与老年人相比，年轻人报告的照顾者负担更轻，减少身体压力，更大的经济压力。线性回归分析揭示了所有受访者的看护负担和经济压力与情绪和身体压力之间的关联。讨论和影响 结果强调需要针对特定​​年龄的干预措施。
