The influence of caregiving and bereavement support on adjusting to an older relative's death

DM Bass, K Bowman and LS Noelker
Margaret Blenkner Research Center, Benjamin Rose Institute, Cleveland, OH 44115-1989.

This study examines the influence of both caregiving social support to an impaired older relative and bereavement social support to a surviving caregiver on that caregiver's bereavement adjustment. Although past research has considered the link between bereavement support and adjustment to a loved one's death, the influence of support to the care recipient has not been investigated. Analyses of prospective panel data from 73 spouse and adult-child caregivers show caregiving support characteristics to be more important for bereavement adjustment than support provided to the surviving caregiver after their relative's death.
