However, little is known about the longitudinal dynamics of informal care receipt - specifically, the stability of informal care - and their contributions to care recipients’ psychological well-being. Using data from the 2010-2018 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (n = 4,160 respondents; 8,332 person-year observations), this study employs mixed-effect regressions to investigate how informal care receipt stability predicts depressive symptoms among older adults with persistent care needs, and how it buffers the stress from activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) limitations. Results suggest that receiving stable informal care, including persistent care (b =- .345; 95% CI = -.481, - .209) and partial loss of informal care sources (b = -.320; 95% CI = -.515, -.125), is significantly associated with lower depressive symptoms than not receiving informal care. Stable informal care receipt also weakens the association between IADL limitations and depressive symptoms through moderation effects, suggesting a stress-buffering pattern, though it does not play a similar role against ADL limitations. In contrast, unstable informal care receipt, including total care loss and caregiver transition, is not associated with any mental health benefits. The findings imply that informal care stability may serve as a measure of care quality through a longitudinal lens, and policies encouraging caregiving commitments may be crucial for the mental health of long-term care recipients.","cbCairwiT8Pp9i5H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairwiT8Pp9i5H","pdf",339122,"English","# Abstract citation ID and study overview\n# Data and methods\n# Key findings\n## Stable informal care effects\n## Moderation by ADL/IADL limitations\n## Unstable informal care effects\n# Implications for policy and care quality","[{\"question\":\"What does the study investigate about informal care?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how the stability of informal care receipt over time relates to older adults’ psychological well-being and depressive symptoms.\"},{\"question\":\"How does stable informal care receipt relate to depressive symptoms?\",\"answer\":\"Receiving stable informal care is significantly associated with lower depressive symptoms compared with not receiving informal care, including for persistent care and partial loss of informal care sources.\"},{\"question\":\"Does stable care buffer stress from both ADL and IADL limitations?\",\"answer\":\"Stable informal care receipt weakens the association between IADL limitations and depressive symptoms via moderation effects, indicating a stress-buffering pattern; it does not show a similar buffering role against ADL limitations.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens with unstable informal care receipt?\",\"answer\":\"Unstable informal care receipt, including total care loss and caregiver transition, is not associated with mental health benefits.\"}]","The Mental Health Implications of Informal Care Receipt Stability - Issue S2 - Abstract citation igaf122.1120 | PDF",1790640045]
