本研究探讨了两个相互竞争的假设之间的关系，护理相关的压力和困难调整受损的亲属的死亡。一个假设，以及有限的经验证据表明，家庭成员谁认为照顾作为压力将经历一些救济时，他们的亲属死亡，因为照顾责任结束。另一种假设，来自几个概念化，假定相反的关系，与更大的护理相关的应变预测更大的压力在丧亲之痛。从配偶和成年子女照顾者死亡前后收集的面板数据支持第二个假设。那些认为丧亲之痛更困难的受访者和那些认为丧亲之痛对家庭造成更负面影响的受访者认为丧亲之痛更困难，并认为丧亲之痛对家庭造成更大的压力。
This study examines two competing hypotheses about the relationship between care-related strain and the difficulty adjusting to the impaired relative's death. One hypothesis, and the limited available empirical evidence, suggests that family members who perceive caregiving as stressful will experience some relief when their relative dies because care responsibilities end. An alternative hypothesis, derived from several conceptualizations, posits the opposite relationship, with greater care-related strain predictive of greater strain during bereavement. Panel data from spouse and adult-child caregivers collected before and after the death support the second hypothesis. Respondents who appraise caregiving as more difficult and those who report more negative caregiving consequences for the family assess bereavement as more difficult and report greater bereavement strain for the family.
