Abstract

Daily unpleasant and pleasant events and specific unpleasant caregiving events were examined in relation to depression in 93 caregivers of demented patients. This study differs from previous research on caregivers in that it focuses on general events (hassles) in addition to specific caregiving events (hassles). Even after controlling for specific unpleasant caregiving events, general unpleasant and pleasant events accounted for additional variance in depressive symptomatology. The results are discussed in terms of their importance for treatment of caregiver depression.
