Stress and Caregiving
The Caregiver Strain
Stress can affect caregiving responsibilities by increasing emotional strain, physical fatigue, and caregiver burnout. In the U.S., caregivers face stress-related challenges in providing care.
To support caregiving, practice stress management techniques such as respite care, support networks, and self-care strategies. Addressing stress promotes sustainable caregiving and enhances well-being for both caregivers and care recipients.
