照顾有认知障碍的家庭成员压力很大且耗时。因为需要集中注意力来管理被护理者的记忆和行为问题；家庭护理人员几乎没有时间满足自己的健康需求。大多数与家庭照顾者健康相关的研究都是在压力疾病框架内进行的。从健康促进范式研究护理人员健康的研究人员较少。本研究的目的是比较家庭看护者与人口统计匹配的非看护者的健康促进自我保健行为，并调查健康促进自我保健行为对压力和幸福感之间关系的中介作用。结果显示，家庭看护者在所有健康促进指标上的得分均显着较低（营养和药物数量除外），而在健康促进行动障碍方面得分显着较高。促进健康的自我护理行为起到了中介作用，减少了护理人员压力对总体幸福感的影响。
Caregiving for family members with cognitive impairment is stressful and time consuming. Because of the attention needed to manage the memory and behavior problems of the care receiver; family caregivers have little time to attend to their own health needs. Most research related to the health of family caregivers has been conducted within a stress-illness framework. Fewer researchers have studied caregiver health from a health-promotion paradigm. The put-pose of this study was to compare health-promoting self-care behavior in family caregivers with demographically matched noncaregivers and to investigate the mediational effect of health promoting self-care behavior on the relationship between stress and well-being, Findings revealed that family caregivers scored significantly lower on all measures of health promotion, with the exception of Nutrition and Number of Medications, and significantly higher on Barriers to Health-Promoting Actions. Health-promoting self-care behavior acted as a mediator to reduce the effect of caregiver stress on general well-being.
