This study compared the parent care experiences of five groups of daughters (N = 492) (married, remarried, separated/divorced, widowed, and never married). Data include demographic characteristics and measures of depression, positive affect, personality strength, health, social support, relationship quality, caregiving burden, caregiving mastery, and caregiving satisfaction. Women with husbands had more socio-emotional and instrumental support, much higher incomes, less financial strain from caregiving, and less depression. They felt their own particular marital status made caregiving easier than did the three groups of not-married women.
本研究比较了五组女儿（N = 492）（已婚、再婚、分居/离婚、丧偶和未婚）的父母照料经历。数据包括人口统计学特征以及抑郁、积极情绪、人格优势、健康状况、社会支持、关系质量、照料负担、照料能力和照料满意度等方面的测量结果。有丈夫的女性获得了更多的社会情感和实际支持，收入更高，照料带来的经济压力更小，抑郁程度也更低。她们觉得自己特定的婚姻状况使照料父母比三组未婚女性更容易。
