Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Caregiving Studies

Context:

  • Factors contributing to caregiver exhaustion include isolation, seclusion, and over-identification with the dependent.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the critical need for support systems for informal caregivers.
  • To emphasize the importance of maintaining the caregiver-dependent relationship.
  • To explore the potential benefits of group belonging for caregiver well-being.

Summary:

  • Non-professional caregivers are at significant risk of burnout, especially when providing care at home.
