| Popis: | Twenty-five women who were the primary carers for a parent with dementia were rated for expressed emotion (EE) and then divided into two groups: 11 with low-EE ratings and 14 with high-EE ratings. Although there were no differences between these groups in the levels of their parents' cognitive impairment, when such impairment was taken into account, high-EE subjects were found to report higher levels of strain and distress. More efficient coping strategies were reported by subjects who made fewer critical comments and more positive remarks. High-EE subjects more frequently had no living siblings, and were more likely to have had a respite break from caring. EE status was not associated with continuing care in the community at a nine-month follow-up. |
