照顾亲属的个人负担不仅取决于照顾的特点，但也与背景因素。本研究的目的是确定是否区域正式的长期护理提供的福祉的配偶照顾者引入的概念，“控制”作为中央途径来解释这种联系。我们使用来自欧洲健康，老龄化和退休调查（SHARE）的数据进行多层次分析，这些数据来自11个国家138个地区的29，000多名欧洲人和1，800名配偶照顾者，以分析区域环境对照顾者幸福感的影响。一个地区正规护理的提供情况是根据老年人在养老院和养老院的长期护理床位数量来衡量的。我们发现，配偶照顾者的幸福感，生活满意度，孤独感和抑郁症方面的测量，正相关的正式护理，这部分是由于更高的感知控制在地区提供更多的正式护理的区域可用性。我们的研究结果表明，正式的护理供应是必不可少的，不仅为照顾者，而且为照顾者：感知替代私人护理安排去沿着与更大的福祉的非正式照顾者。
The individual burden of caring for one’s relatives not only depends on care characteristics but is also related to contextual factors. The objective of this study is to determine whether regional formal long-term care provision is linked to the well-being of spousal caregivers introducing the concept of “control” as central pathway to explain this link. We applied multilevel analysis using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) from over 29,000 Europeans and 1,800 spousal caregivers located in 138 regions in 11 countries to analyze the effects of regional contexts on caregiver well-being. The provision of formal care in a region was measured by the number of long-term care beds in nursing and residential homes among the older population. We found that spousal caregivers’ well-being, measured in terms of life satisfaction, loneliness, and depression, was positively linked to the regional availability of formal care, which is partly due to higher perceived control in regions with more formal care provision. Our results suggest that formal care supply is essential not only for care recipients but also for caregivers: perceived alternatives to the private care arrangement go along with greater well-being of informal caregivers.
