Few studies examine how cancer caregiving stress "proliferates," or how stress related to care provision spreads and influences other aspects of life. These other aspects of life are called secondary stressors and may include perceptions of family support, financial strain, or the caregiver's schedule. In the current study, data on sociodemographic background, care demands, and psychosocial stress were collected from 186 cancer caregivers. A multivariate regression analysis was used to identify factors reliably related to secondary stressors. Role overload appeared to exacerbate multiple secondary stressors, whereas socioemotional support protected caregivers against all dimensions of secondary stress. These empirical results are among the first on predictors of secondary stress in cancer caregiving, and they may inform future descriptive and clinical examinations of the stress process in cancer caregiving families.
很少有研究探讨癌症护理压力是如何“扩散”的，或者与护理相关的压力是如何传播并影响生活的其他方面的。生活的这些其他方面被称为继发性压力源，可能包括对家庭支持的认知、经济压力或护理者的日程安排。在当前的研究中，从186名癌症护理者那里收集了社会人口背景、护理需求和心理社会压力的数据。采用多元回归分析来确定与继发性压力源可靠相关的因素。角色过载似乎会加剧多种继发性压力源，而社会情感支持则能保护护理者免受继发性压力各个维度的影响。这些实证结果是关于癌症护理中继发性压力预测因素的首批研究成果之一，它们可能为未来对癌症护理家庭压力过程的描述性和临床研究提供参考。
