What’s so funny? Plenty to caregivers who cope well

Caregivers cope with the strain of helping the elderly by seeing the lighter side of life and finding comfort in the knowledge that others are worse off, according to a survey that identified these factors as the two main coping strategies in caring for those over age 75.

While studying 172 caregivers, Alison Jarvis, a nurse/researcher at the Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, realized caregivers experienced a duality of pluses and minuses. On the negative side, they often experienced emotional turmoil from family tension. On the plus side, caregivers admitted to getting satisfaction from providing quality care and finding practical solutions to problems.

“This study shows that it is the invisible consequences of caregiving, such as family tensions and lack of time, that seem to be most stressful even if it’s at an early state,” Jarvis says.”These chronic stress factors may accumulate and the last stressor, which may appear to be relatively minor, could trigger crisis.”

The survey also says:

34 percent

say caregiving puts a strain on family relationships.

32 percent

say caregiving restricts their social life.

22 percent

say they are angry about having to care for an elderly person.

30 percent

say their emotional well-being has suffered while being a caregiver.
