Spillover between the roles of parent care and employment was assessed in a sample of 105 employed adult daughter caregivers. This research examined how these 2 roles affect one another, both positively and negatively, and how such spillover was related to caregivers' psychological well-being. Path analyses indicated that negative spillover was an important mediating mechanism in the relationship between role stress and depression. In contrast, no evidence was found to suggest that positive spillover mediated the relationship between role satisfaction and positive affect. Findings extend prior research that has documented that caregiving and employment can interfere with one another by demonstrating that such spillover has implications for caregivers' emotional health.
在105名有工作的成年女性照料者样本中,对育儿照料和工作角色之间的溢出效应进行了评估。本研究考察了这两种角色如何相互影响,包括积极影响和消极影响,以及这种溢出效应与照料者心理健康的关系。路径分析表明,消极溢出效应是角色压力与抑郁之间关系的重要中介机制。相比之下,没有证据表明积极溢出效应介导了角色满意度与积极情绪之间的关系。研究结果扩展了先前的研究,先前研究记录了照料和工作会相互干扰,而本研究表明这种溢出效应会影响照料者的情绪健康。
