In a novel investigation, the interplay of aging anxiety, caregiving burden, and resilience as a protective factor was examined, suggesting that aging anxiety and caregiving burden are mediators for the link between resilience and negative affect.

Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 191 Israeli informal caregivers of older adults (65+) participated in the study.
