Objectives: Care-related beliefs are considered risk factors for decreased mental health in family caregivers of people with dementia. However, their exact role in the caregiver stress process remains unclear. Hence, we tested a cognitive vulnerability-stress model of depression and anxiety in family caregivers of people with dementia.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted using baseline data from a caregiver intervention trial (N = 322). Within Bayesian moderated mediation analysis, we examined mediation of effects of objective demands () on depression and anxiety via subjective caregiver burden and moderation by care-related beliefs in four domains ().
Results: The relation between objective demands and subjective burden was amplified by dysfunctional caregiving standards and dysfunctional attitudes towards dementia and mitigated by functional self-care-related beliefs. Further, functional acceptance-related beliefs attenuated the effect of subjective caregiver burden on depression.
Conclusion: The study provides preliminary evidence for a cognitive vulnerability-stress model of depression and anxiety in family caregivers of people with dementia. The results indicate that the four-domain model of care-related beliefs is a valuable framework for future research and may serve as a heuristic model for cognitive-behavioral therapy in this population.

School of Nursing, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: There is limited research on how fatalism influences risky health behaviors that are linked to higher cancer risks. This study investigates the relationship between risky health behaviors (tobacco smoking, electronic cigarette use, and heavy alcohol drinking) and fatalistic cancer beliefs while controlling for health care-related self-efficacy and sociodemographic and clinical factors among adults without a history of cancer.
Methods: We used cross-sectional data from the 2020 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) 5 Cycle 4.
