- Abstract
African American daughters provide more care to debilitated family members and suffer more from hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease than their Caucasian counterparts, placing them at greater risk for poorer health outcomes from caregiving stress. This Neuman system model and stress process theory-based secondary data analysis was designed to investigate the direct and indirect effects of stressors and the direct effect o f emotional support and coping on psychological and physical health outcomes in 106 African-American daughters who have functioned as caregivers for aging parents. Caregivers who reported greater role overload and higher caregiving demands experienced more psychological symptoms. Those who reported self-mastery experienced fewer psychological symptoms and better physical health. These findings demonstrate daughters' vulnerability to the deleterious effects of stressors on psychological and physical health as caregiving demands increased.
