Outline of Final Research Achievements

We clarified the actual state of stress among caregivers who provide double care based on interview data with double care providers who are the main caregivers of elderly people who use home care support offices. Afterwards, We then conducted a questionnaire survey regarding the relationship with stress coping.As a result, a relationship was found between securing time for oneself, cooperating with family and other people, and stress coping. We plan to announce further results in the future.
