AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The requirements of caring for individuals with diseases with excess care burden like heart failure (HF) comprise a source of stress for the caregiver. This situation affects the health of caregivers and may cause a reduction in their level of compassion. However, compassion is associated with psychological benefits and coping strategies like positive mood in caregivers. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between compassion, coping strategies and stress levels of family members caring for individuals with HF. We found that the dysfunctional coping strategies were determined to play a partial mediating role in the relationship between caregiver compassion levels and stress levels. Caregivers with higher compassion levels reported lower stress levels. This situation may be linked to their use of relatively fewer dysfunctional coping strategies. Findings help to examine the correlations between compassion, coping strategies and stress levels of family members caring for individuals with HF.
