Abstract
A caregiver is someone who looks after another person who is in need, such as a child, an elderly parent, a spouse or partner, a family, a friend, or a coworker. Caregiver stress is caused by the cognitive and emotional strain of caring for others. Stress levels in caregivers are much higher than in non-caregivers. The quantity of care required by an old, sick, or disabled family member may overwhelm some caretakers. Anyone can experience caregiver stress, but women carers are more likely than males to report stress and other health issues. Furthermore, certain women are at a larger risk than others. Additionally, certain women are at a higher risk of developing health problems as a result of caregiver stress. Informal caregivers are family members and friends who provide care to their loved ones without receiving any financial compensation. Formal carers are volunteers or paid care providers linked to a service system, whereas informal carers are family members and friends who provide care to their loved ones without receiving any financial compensation. As a result of the arduous duty of caring for others, caregivers experience stress and strain, which can have a significant impact on their physical, psychological, and social lives, reducing their quality of life (QOL) As a result, caregivers are at danger of getting mental illnesses. The burden of caregiving has been linked to poor physical and emotional health. Caregiving has been linked to psychological issues such as depression and poor physical and mental health of caregivers, according to research. According to a new study, caregiving is linked to anguish, worry, stress, and depression.
