研究文献中对承担非正式护理责任的年轻人（18-25 岁）的关注有限，而且人们对护理责任与不同生活领域的功能之间的关系知之甚少。在本研究中，我们研究了接受高等教育的年轻人的照顾责任与学习进度、娱乐生活和孤独感之间的关系。对挪威高等教育学生进行了一项全国调查（SHoT2018 研究）。回应率为30.8%。当前样本是受访者的子样本，包括 18 至 25 岁的年轻人，共有 40.205 名参与者（70.2% 为女性，平均年龄 22.0 岁，SD = 1.7）。参与者报告了他们是否对患有身体或精神疾病、残疾或滥用药物的人负有定期护理责任。他们还回答了有关学习进度、学习时数、体育锻炼、参加有组织的学生志愿者活动、亲密朋友的数量以及孤独感等问题。通过卡方检验和逻辑回归分析对数据进行分析，并根据年龄、性别和慢性疾病进行调整。与没有照顾责任的学生相比，年轻的成年照顾者（n = 2228，研究样本的5.5％）更有可能报告学习进度延迟（OR 1.20，p < .001），更高的平均考试失败次数（例如，失败3次或更多，OR 1.31，p = .002），更多的孤独感（OR 1.26, p < .001)，朋友也稍微少一些。那些照顾责任有限（每天≤1小时）的学生更有可能参加有组织的志愿者学生活动，而每天照顾2小时或以上的学生则不太可能参加休闲学生活动。研究进展和孤独感都与反应剂量模式中的护理责任相关，对于那些每天承担 2 小时或更长时间护理责任的人来说，结果更差。所有比较均根据年龄、性别和慢性病进行了调整。年轻人的学习进度、娱乐活动和孤独感与非正式的照顾责任有关。教育系统的专业人员以及卫生人员应了解年轻成人护理人员的需求，并提供必要的支持。
Young adults (18–25 years) with informal care responsibilities have received limited attention in the research literature, and little is known on how caring responsibilities are related to functioning across different life domains. In the present study we examine associations between care responsibilities and study progress, recreational life, and loneliness in young adults in higher education. A national survey was conducted among Norwegian students in higher education (the SHoT2018-study). The response rate was 30.8%. The current sample is a subsample of the respondents, including young adults 18 to 25 years old, comprising 40.205 participants (70.2% women, mean age 22.0 years, SD = 1.7). Participants reported whether they had regular care responsibility for someone with physical or mental illness, disabilities, or substance misuse. They also answered questions on study progress, number of hours studying, physical exercise, involvement in organized volunteer student activities, number of close friends, and feelings of loneliness. Data were analyzed by Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses, adjusting for age, sex, and chronic illness. Compared to students without care responsibility, young adult carers (n = 2228, 5.5% of study sample) were more likely to report delayed study progress (OR 1.20, p < .001), higher average number of failed exams (e.g., having failed three times or more, OR 1.31, p = .002), more feelings of loneliness (OR 1.26, p < .001), and slightly fewer friends. Those with limited care responsibility (≤ 1 h daily) were more likely to participate in organized volunteer student activities, whereas students with 2 h or more of caring per day were less likely to participate in leisure student activities. Both study progress and feelings of loneliness were related to care responsibility in a response-dose pattern, with worse outcomes for those with 2 h or more of daily caring responsibility. All comparisons were adjusted for age, sex, and chronic illness. Study progress, recreational activities, and loneliness among young adults are associated with informal caring responsibilities. Professionals in the educational system as well as health personnel should be sensitized to the needs of young adult carers and necessary support made available.
