Abstract

Objectives. Although domestic helpers increasingly play a role in elder care in many societies, there is a lack of research on their influence on caregiver distress. This study aimed to examine the influence of domestic helpers on the relationship between stressors (the care needs of frail elders and spousal provision of care) and spousal caregivers' psychological distress.
