Women involvement in the informal caregiving field: A perspective review

Shyhrete Rexhaj et al.

Summary: The recovery of individuals with mental health disorders is improved when they have connections and support from their community and relatives. Caregivers play an important role, but their involvement can impact their own health, with women being the most engaged in this role. Research on informal caregivers shows a gender difference, with more women researchers interested in this field. Efforts should be made to recognize the importance of women's involvement in research, as they contribute to a specific and important field. Family caregivers are crucial in the healthcare system, yet their contribution is often not acknowledged. The informal caregiver role is more often filled by women, leading to social inequalities, especially in professional opportunities. Tailored interventions and a better redistribution of unpaid work are needed to address the specific needs and issues of family caregivers and respect gender equality in society.

Invisible experts: a systematic review & thematic synthesis of informal carer experiences of inpatient mental health care

Nada Abou Seif et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and thematic synthesis of carer experiences of inpatient mental health care. The findings indicated four themes: the emotional journey of inpatient care, invisible experts, carer concerns about quality of care for their loved one, and relationships and partnership between carers, service users, and staff. The study suggests that greater attention should be paid to supporting and involving carers in care, and fostering positive relationships among carers, service users, and staff.

Ability to Care for an Ill Loved One During the First COVID-19 Lockdown: Mediators of Informal Caregivers' Stress in Europe

Shadya Monteiro et al.

Summary: This study investigates the perceived stress and modulating factors among informal caregivers during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Europe. The findings indicate that higher perceived stress among informal caregivers is associated with the age and family relationship of the care recipient, cohabitation, and gender of the caregiver. Fear of getting ill, belief in the negative impact of lockdowns on health, and perceived deterioration of the care recipient's health partially mediate these associations. The fear of losing the ability to cope with caregiving tasks and the negative impact of lockdown on the mental health of young care recipients increase the stress of informal caregivers.

Tinbete Samuel et al.

Summary: This study identified a relationship between relapse and social support in patients with schizophrenia. Social support was found to be a significant predictor of relapse, with emotional involvement, financial issues, and life stress events indirectly affecting relapse through their negative correlation with social support. Efforts should be made to enhance social support for these patients to reduce the risk of relapse.
