This study uses data from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) to examine differences between male and female caregivers by demographics, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and the effect of social support on HRQOL. Roughly two-thirds of caregivers were women, and demographic characteristics differed among men and women caregivers. Women caregivers reported significantly more mentally and physically unhealthy days than men, but there were no differences between men and women in general health or life satisfaction. Men were significantly more likely to report that they rarely or never received social support. Despite this, the effect of social support on HRQOL was stronger in men than in women. Implications of these findings for caregiver support programs are discussed.
本研究使用2009年行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）的数据，通过人口统计学、健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）以及社会支持对HRQOL的影响来检验男性和女性照顾者之间的差异。大约三分之二的照顾者为女性，男性和女性照顾者的人口统计学特征有所不同。女性照顾者报告的心理和身体不健康天数明显多于男性，但在总体健康状况或生活满意度方面，男性和女性之间没有差异。男性报告很少或从未获得社会支持的可能性显著更高。尽管如此，社会支持对HRQOL的影响在男性中比在女性中更强。本文讨论了这些研究结果对照顾者支持项目的意义。
