An intensive study have been made forf the literature, research was in 1984 and found and used the caregiver concept of stress in the workplace of nursing (Baines, 1984).. In congruence with this finding, obtaining assistance with providing activities for recreation and diversion was needed (Baines, 1984).
Similar to Baines (1984), Kelley (1993) and Schumacher, Dodd, and Paul (1993) conducted research focusing on caregiver stress using non-ADRD caregivers. Kelley conducted a descriptive study to look at caregiver stress in grandparents raising grandchildren. while social support mediated the relationship between functional status and depression in caregivers.

Hunt (2003) performed a concept analysis “to clarify and delineate conceptualizations of the effects of caregiving for nursing research and practice with family caregivers” (p. 27). Findings revealed that caregiver stress carries a negative connotation. Tsai (2003) presents a midrange theory of caregiver stress based on Roy’s adaptation model (Roy, 2011) using the context of caregiving for chronically ill people. Tsai discusses Roy’s model and how it applies to caregiver stress. Although Hunt and Tsai address the concept of caregiver stress, neither explicitly states the definition of this …show more content…
Spousal caregivers reported higher levels of loneliness and depression than nonspousal caregivers. The female spousal caregivers reported a greater loss of self and higher levels of loneliness and depression than males. Wright et al. Beeson’s study observed outcomes of depression due to caregiver stress.. This could be due to AD being a progressive disease (National Institute on Aging and National Institutes of Health, 2008). On the contrary, physical health in caregivers remained stable over time. This finding is not consistent with that of von Känel et al.’s (2006) and Kiecolt-Glasers et al.’s (1996) findings that physical health declines due to caregiver stress. The antecedent analyzed the outcomes of caregiver stress by looking at the emotional and physical health of spousal caregivers of persons with AD and stroke. Results revealed that depression increased for AD caregivers
