Emotional suppression, caregiving burden, mastery, coping strategies and mental health in spousal caregivers

摘要

Objectives: The main aim was to explore the multiple mediation effects of personal resources (mastery, engagement and disengagement coping strategies) between caregiving burden and depression in spousal caregivers, based on integrated stress process models. A further aim was to examine whether emotional suppression moderates the relationship between perceived burden and depression.
