本研究调查了护理任务、角色压力和资源方面的性别差异，以解释就业非配偶护理人员概率样本中负担的性别差异（N = 413）。与男性相比，女性更有可能协助提供护理服务、报告工作角色压力并承受更高的负担。在控制了预测负担方面已知的社会人口统计学差异后，当将护理人员任务、工作角色压力和资源输入回归方程时，性别的影响在每一步都会下降。结果表明，这些差异可能部分解释了非配偶女性照顾者所经历的更大负面影响。
This study investigated gender differences in caregiving tasks, role strains, and resources to account for gender variations in burden among a probability sample of employed, nonspousal caregivers (N = 413). Females were more likely to assist with care provision tasks, to report work role strains, and to experience higher levels of burden than males. After controlling for known sociodemographic dissimilarities in predicting burden, the effect of gender decreased at each step when caregiver tasks, work role strains, and resources were entered into the regression equation. Results suggest that these differences may partially explain the greater negative impact experienced by nonspousal, female caregivers.
