扩展2002年Chappell和Reid的压力评估模型，我们研究了照顾者压力源之间的关系;（例如，接受者的认知损害和功能依赖性）、评价（非正式的接受时间）和保护因素（例如，社会支持、自尊和受者-受者关系的质量）与帕金森病照顾者的负担和生活质量相关。有136名照顾者（M = 64.59岁）完成了在线调查。使用结构方程模型，我们发现Chappell和Reid的扩展应力评估模型与数据拟合良好（chi（2）= 67.87，df = 55，p > 0.05; chi（2）/df = 1.23，比较拟合指数= 0.98，近似均方根误差= 0.04）。这项研究提供了一个重要的贡献，不断增长的研究领域，应用理论模型来调查的压力源，评价和保护因素，影响照顾者的福祉。
Extending the 2002 stress-appraisal model of Chappell and Reid, we examined the relationships between caregiver stressors; (e.g., cognitive impairment and functional dependency of the recipient), appraisal (informal hours of caregiving), and protective factors (e.g., social support, self-esteem, and quality of the caregiver-recipient relationship) associated with the burden and quality of life of Parkinson's disease caregivers. There were 136 caregivers (M = 64.59 years) who completed an online survey. Using structural equation modeling, we found that the extended stress-appraisal model of Chappell and Reid provided a good fit to the data (chi(2) = 67.87, df = 55, p > .05; chi(2)/df = 1.23, Comparative Fit Index = 0.98, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.04). This study provides an important contribution to a growing field of research that applies theoretical models to investigate the stressors, appraisals, and protective factors that impact caregiver well-being.
