这项纵向研究调查，在18个月的时间内，概率样本的115个女儿谁提供照顾年迈的父母的抚养经验。这些女儿表现出的抑郁症状水平相对较低，在研究期间只有23.5%的得分在临床范围内。尽管如此。在18个月的时间里，女儿的抑郁症状发生了实质性的变化，掌握水平较高的女儿更有可能使用以问题为中心的应对策略，这导致了抑郁的减少，而掌握水平较低的女儿更有可能使用以情绪为中心的应对策略，这导致了抑郁水平的增加。当与兄弟姐妹分享照顾角色时，掌握程度较高;如果女儿有其他照顾责任，如果父母照顾对象的行为问题水平升高，则掌握程度较低。
This longitudinal study investigates, over an 18-month period, the caregiving experience of a probability sample of 115 daughters who provided care to an aging parent. The levels of depressive symptoms: manifested by these daughters were relatively low, with only 23.5% scoring in the clinical range during the study. Nevertheless. there was substantive change in depressive symptoms among the daughters during the 18 months, Daughters with higher levels of mastery were more likely to use problem-focused coping strategies, which led to reductions in depression, whereas daughters with lower levels of mastery were more likely to use emotion-focused coping, which led to increased levels of depression. Mastery was higher when the caregiving role was shared with a sibling; it was lower if the daughter had other caregiving responsibilities and if the parent care recipient had elevated levels of behavior problems.
