One of these are informal caregivers. This study investigates the changes the pandemic has caused for informal caregivers and the extent to which quality of life and burden of care have changed for specific subgroups.
Data for this cross-sectional study was gathered in the summer of 2020 in a convenient sample of informal caregivers (< 67 years of age, N = 1143). In addition to sociodemographic data, information on the care situation, compatibility of care and work, as well as stress and quality of life was collected in an online survey. The analysis of care situations and compatibility of care and work is done descriptively. Logistic regression models are used for a subgroup analysis of quality of life and care burden.
The care situation has changed for 54.7% of participants and has become more time consuming. For 70.8% of respondents, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more difficult to balance care-giving and work. However, most respondents were satisfied with their employers' pandemic management (65.9%). A sharp decline in the quality of life and an increase in the burden of care for informal caregivers was ascertained. Both developments are stronger for young and female caregivers and for those caring for people with a greater need of support.
The results indicate that living situations worsened for a substantial proportion of informal caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Policymakers should recognize additional challenges that informal caregivers have faced since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and how they vary by subgroups. It is important to include home-based informal care as well as other care settings in future pandemic concepts.</description><identifier>EISSN: 1437-1588</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00103-023-03659-7</identifier><identifier>PMID: 36749365</identifier><language>ger</language><publisher>Germany</publisher><subject>Caregivers ; Cost of Illness ; COVID-19 - epidemiology ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Female ; Germany - epidemiology ; Humans ; Pandemics ; Quality of Life ; Surveys and Questionnaires</subject><ispartof>Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2023-03, Vol.66 (3), p.265-274</ispartof><rights>2023.
