ObjectiveWe compared pain prevalence and intensity between caregivers and non-caregivers, as well as between different types of caregivers.MethodUsing two rounds of data from the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project, we used regression models to analyze differences in pain prevalence and intensity between caregivers and non-caregivers at baseline (2010-2011) and follow-up (2015-2016). The sample consisted of 2332 participants aged 62 and older (352 caregivers and 1980 non-caregivers).ResultsCross-sectionally, caregivers were more likely than non-caregivers to report pain. Longitudinally, caregivers with pain at baseline were more likely to report the presence of pain and greater pain intensity five years later compared to non-caregivers who also reported pain at baseline. More hours of care per week was associated with greater pain intensity at baseline and follow-up among caregivers with pain.DiscussionCaregivers' pain is a public health concern, with efforts to mitigate the effects of caregiving on pain needed.
目的
我们比较了照料者与非照料者之间以及不同类型照料者之间的疼痛患病率和疼痛强度。
方法
利用来自“全国社会生活、健康与老龄化项目”的两轮数据，我们使用回归模型分析了在基线期（2010 - 2011年）和随访期（2015 - 2016年）照料者与非照料者在疼痛患病率和疼痛强度方面的差异。样本包括2332名62岁及以上的参与者（352名照料者和1980名非照料者）。
结果
从横断面来看，照料者比非照料者更有可能报告疼痛。从纵向来看，与在基线期也报告疼痛的非照料者相比，基线期有疼痛的照料者在五年后更有可能报告仍存在疼痛且疼痛强度更大。每周照料时间越长，在基线期和随访期有疼痛的照料者的疼痛强度就越大。
讨论
照料者的疼痛是一个公共卫生问题，需要努力减轻照料对疼痛的影响。
