INTRODUCTION
Well-being is an important component of health, while informal care plays a vital role in daily care of the elderly. However, the effects of informal care on the well-being of the elderly remain unclear. This study was aimed to estimate such effects, in which well-being was measured by 2 subjective indicators: happiness and life satisfaction.
METHODS
Potential endogeneity was purified using instrumental variables. Data were collected from national baseline China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
RESULTS
Receiving informal care would decrease the elderly's happiness score and life satisfaction score significantly. The health produced from informal care cannot offset the health depreciation caused by aging.
DISCUSSION
To improve the well-being of the elderly, caregivers have more to do and policymakers can design designated care policies based on our results.
简介
幸福感是健康的一个重要组成部分，而非正式护理在老年人的日常护理中起着至关重要的作用。然而，非正式护理对老年人幸福感的影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估这种影响，其中幸福感通过 2 个主观指标来衡量：幸福感和生活满意度。
方法
使用工具变量来净化潜在的内生性。数据来自全国基线中国健康与退休纵向研究（CHARLS）。
结果
接受非正式护理会显著降低老年人的幸福感得分和生活满意度得分。非正式护理带来的健康收益无法抵消衰老带来的健康损失。
讨论
为了提高老年人的幸福感，护理人员还有更多的工作要做，政策制定者可以根据我们的研究结果制定专门的护理政策。
