Although family caregivers who use both the personal and social resourcefulness skills have the best health outcomes, it is unknown whether their tendency toward personal or social resourcefulness varies by their care recipient's condition. This cross-sectional study of existing data from 234 caregivers of persons with various conditions examined five item pairs from the Resourcefulness Scale with responses capturing personal and social resourcefulness in relation to anxiety, anger, sadness, indecision, and financial distress. Caregivers were categorized by the recipient's condition (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, cancer, dementia, mental illness, Parkinson's disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury, other, or multiple conditions). Findings showed that across most groups, caregivers used both personal and social resourcefulness when angry, sad, or indecisive and personal resourcefulness when anxious or managing money. Caregivers of persons with cancer, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and mental illness differed. The findings provide a basis for future clinical trials across diverse caregiver groups.
虽然同时具备个人和社交应变能力的家庭照顾者拥有最佳的健康结果，但尚不清楚他们在个人或社交应变能力方面的倾向是否因照顾对象的状况而异。这项针对 234 名不同状况患者照顾者的现有数据的横断面研究，使用应变量表中的五对项目来考察与焦虑、愤怒、悲伤、犹豫不决和经济困难有关的个人和社交应变能力。根据照顾对象的状况（肌萎缩侧索硬化症、癌症、痴呆症、精神疾病、帕金森病、中风、创伤性脑损伤、其他或多种疾病）对照顾者进行分类。结果表明，在大多数情况下，当愤怒、悲伤或犹豫不决时，照顾者会同时使用个人和社交应变能力，而在焦虑或管理金钱时则会使用个人应变能力。患有癌症、创伤性脑损伤、中风和精神疾病的患者的照顾者情况有所不同。这些发现为未来在不同照顾者群体中进行临床试验提供了基础。
