Abstract
Many family caregivers are also employed full- or part-time and are known to be affected by job demands. This study explored the mediating effect of job demands on the relationship between caregiving demands and caregiver health outcomes in primary family caregivers of older persons with dementia in Taiwan (N = 214). A cross-sectional design using a self-completed structured questionnaire was implemented. Structural equation modeling analyses showed that job demands partially mediated the relationship between caregiving demands and caregiver health outcomes. The indirect effect of caregiving demands on caregiver health outcomes through job demands was 0.208 (95% confidence interval: 0.053 - 0.335). Nurses should evaluate job demands when screening for high-risk caregiver groups vulnerable to high caregiving demand. Interventions aimed at lessening both caregiving demands and job demands may improve caregiver health outcomes for family caregivers of older adults with dementia.
