Preferred term

caregiver stress  

Definition

  • Every day millions of Americans serve as caregivers, providing unpaid assistance to family members or friends who are in some way incapacitated and need help with the activities of daily life. Caregiving can have many rewards, but it can also be a significant source of stress for the many caregivers who provide care, often at great personal sacrifice to their own physical, emotional, social, and financial well-being.
