Article Synopsis
- During COVID-19, informal caregivers faced increased responsibilities while support systems became less accessible, impacting their psychosocial well-being.
- A study analyzed changes in psychological well-being and loneliness among caregivers and non-caregivers through multiple stages of the pandemic, using data from nearly 15,000 participants in Norway.
- Results indicated that caregivers had consistently lower well-being compared to non-caregivers, with significant increases in anxiety and worry during peak pandemic periods, particularly affecting those providing more intensive care or facing health challenges.
