Impact of noncaregiving-related stressors on informal caregiver outcomes.
The researchers studied the most stressful events experienced by spouse caregivers of older adults with Alzheimer s disease during a 6-month period. They found that caregivers reported no stressors 21.5% of the time, 1-2 stressors 25% of the time, and 3 stressors 53% of the time with 318 stressors reported in total. They concluded that their results can be used to develop targeted intervention and support strategies for spouse caregivers experiencing non-caregiving related stressors as well as the traditional challenges with caregiving-related issues.

Physician and patient and caregiver health attitudes and their effect on Medicare resource allocation for patients with advanced cancer.
The investigators sought to determine how baseline attitudes toward quality vs quantity of life affect end-of-life resource allocation. They found that, compared with patients and caregivers, otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (OHNS) physician allocations differed significantly in all 15 benefit categories except home care. They concluded that understanding the effect of baseline attitudes is important for effective end-of-life discussions.
