Based on the stress process model of family caregiving, this study examined subjective stress appraisals and perceived schedule control among men employed in the long-term care industry (workplace-only caregivers) who concurrently occupied unpaid family caregiving roles for children (double-duty child caregivers), older adults (double-duty elder caregivers), and both children and older adults (triple-duty caregivers). Survey responses from 123 men working in nursing home facilities in the United States were analyzed using multiple linear regression models. Results indicated that workplace-only and double- and triple-duty caregivers' appraised primary stress similarly. However, several differences emerged with respect to secondary role strains, specifically work-family conflict, emotional exhaustion, and turnover intentions. Schedule control also constituted a stress buffer for double- and triple-duty caregivers, particularly among double-duty elder caregivers. These findings contribute to the scarce literature on double- and triple-duty caregiving men and have practical implications for recruitment and retention strategies in the health care industry.
基于家庭照料的压力过程模型，本研究考察了从事长期护理行业的男性（仅在工作场所照料者）的主观压力评估和感知日程控制，他们同时承担着为儿童（双重责任儿童照料者）、老年人（双重责任老年照料者）以及儿童和老年人（三重责任照料者）提供无报酬的家庭照料角色。对来自美国养老院设施的 123 名男性的调查回复使用了多元线性回归模型进行了分析。结果表明，仅在工作场所和双重及三重责任照料者的主要压力评估相似。然而，在次要角色紧张方面出现了一些差异，特别是工作-家庭冲突、情绪耗竭和离职意向。日程控制对于双重和三重责任照料者也是一个压力缓冲因素，特别是对于双重责任老年照料者。这些发现丰富了关于男性双重和三重责任照料的稀缺文献，对医疗保健行业的招聘和留用策略具有实际意义。
