Abstract

Little is known about caregiving outcomes of sexual and gender diverse, including LGBT, caregivers. Informed by the Health Equity Promotion Model (HEPM) and Pearlin's Stress Process Model, we utilized data from Aging with Pride: National Health, Aging, and Sexuality/Gender Study (NHAS), to examine perceived stress among a sample of 754 sexual and gender diverse caregivers using regressions on background and caregiving characteristics and risk and protective factors. Among caregivers, 38% were providing care to a spouse or partner and about one-third to a friend (29%). Higher stress was associated with younger age, lower income, higher education, partner/spouse care, personal care provision, longer caregiving hours, and caregiver cognitive impairment. After including the risk and protective factors from HEPM, victimization, social support, and community engagement significantly predicted perceived stress. Findings contribute to emergent research on caregiving in diverse populations.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 September 2023.
All research outputs
#15,677,416
of 24,833,726 outputs
Outputs from Research on Aging
#357
of 523 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#228,952
of 469,906 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Research on Aging
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,833,726 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 523 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.4. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 469,906 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
