Caregiver Role Theory

Caregiver Role Theory suggests that caregivers adopt specific roles and responsibilities when caring for others, influenced by societal expectations and personal beliefs. It highlights how these roles can shape their experiences, stress levels, and overall well-being. The theory emphasizes the importance of understanding the dynamics between caregivers and those they care for, recognizing that each relationship is unique and can impact both parties. By acknowledging these roles, we can better support caregivers, ensuring they receive the help and resources needed to maintain their own health and effectively care for others.
