2019冠状病毒病大流行凸显了非正式护理的重要性，并表明妇女继续在这一领域承担主要责任。在这项研究中，我们分析了一组非正式男性和女性护理人员在COVID-19大流行一年后的护理和自我感知健康方面的差异。我们在2021年2月至4月期间使用计算机辅助电话访谈对西班牙两个地区的261名非正式护理人员（165名女性和96名男性）进行了横断面调查。我们进行了描述性、双变量和多变量分析，根据不同的照顾者、被照顾者和照顾特征来计算自我感觉健康状况不佳的几率。我们还分析了大流行对护理、护理者健康和生活其他方面的感知影响。与男性护理人员相比，女性护理人员更有可能因大流行而经历护理强度和负担的增加以及自我感知健康状况的下降。然而，提供高强度护理的男性也报告健康状况恶化。男性得到的非正式支持减少较少，而这一因素起到了保护健康的作用。相比之下，妇女在所有支助系统中都有所减少，在这种情况下，三级教育发挥了保护作用。我们的研究结果提供了关键的见解，应该考虑到设计基于性别的干预措施，旨在支持已经捉襟见肘和负担沉重的照顾者。需要更大的责任分担和更多的资源。
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of informal care and shown that women continue to shoulder the brunt of responsibilities in this area. In this study, we analyzed differences in caregiving and self-perceived health in a group of informal male and female caregivers 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic. We performed a cross-sectional survey of 261 informal caregivers (165 women and 96 men) in two regions of Spain using computer-assisted telephone interviewing between February and April 2021. We performed descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate analyses to calculate the odds of poor self-perceived health according to different caregiver, care recipient, and caregiving characteristics. We also analyzed the perceived effects of the pandemic on caregiving, caregiver health, and other aspects of life. Compared with male caregivers, female caregivers were more likely to experience increases in caregiving intensity and burden and a decline in self-perceived health as a result of the pandemic. Men providing high-intensity care, however, also reported deteriorated health. Men experienced fewer reductions in informal support, a factor that exerted a protective health effect. Women, by contrast, experienced a reduction in all support systems and in this case, a third-level education exerted a protective effect. Our results provide key insights that should be taken into account to design gender-based interventions aimed at supporting already stretched and burdened caregivers. A greater sharing of responsibilities and more resources are needed.
