Issue Date: | 6-Feb-2023 | Date: | 2023 | Publication information: | BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care 2023 | Abstract: | Caregivers play a key role in providing support to people with cancer. However, caregiving can be stressful and demanding, resulting in perceived caregiver burden. Social connectedness is considered partially independent from social support, yet few studies have examined whether social connectedness impacts caregiver burden. The current study sought to examine: (a) associations among social support, social connectedness and burden in a sample of cancer caregivers and (b) the mediating effect of social connectedness on the relationship between social support and caregiver burden. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/32150 | DOI: | 10.1136/spcare-2022-004070 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-7956-5797 |
