Abstract
This study examined the determinants of depression among Japanese informal caregivers for elderly people. Four hundred and fifty-four participants answered questions tapping the subjective evaluation of caregiving situations and depression. A regression analysis revealed that physical strain, negative attitudes of elderly people, unsupportive attitudes of family members, and economic strain significantly increased reports of depression. The discussion considered the importance of interpersonal variables to promote the mental health of informal caregivers in Japan.
