Talk:Caregiver stress

Elder abuse

It seems logical, but a link between caregiver stress and elder abuse would be interesting. I won't add it, though, until we have a reliable source that says such a link may exist. Rklawton (talk) 15:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Class project

I'll be making modifications to this article. I am a student at Clemson University, where we are a part of the Wikipedia Initiative. Since I am also in a Health Psychology course, I believe I will be able to make useful contributions to this article. If you have an suggestions to make this Wikipedia stub better, please let me know.

I'd like input on my sandbox for ideas to improve this article. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:KellyJ2013/sandbox) The new information that I have added to this stub is in red. Please let me know if there is anything you'd like to see added. Suggestions? I will be expanding this article to make it more than a stub, as well as adding reliable sources from various journals and websites. In class, we are completing 3 Peer Reviews with our classmates, as well as having our professor review this article as well. KellyJ2013 (talk) 20:24, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I am writing this post in the talk page to let everyone know that I have officially updated this article on Wikipedia. Since it was a stub, I had a lot that needed to be added. I focused primarily on the symptoms or Caregiver Syndrome. I also listed ways that people can tell if they're suffering from this based on answers to questions that clinicians would ask them. Lastly, I gave multiple resources they can use to help with this form of chronic stress. If anyone has any questions or comments about this article, let me know.

Hello everyone, I am writing this post to inform whoever may be interested that I am continuing to work on this article and edit it. I plan on adding more about the positive aspects of Caregiving, and what programs are being implemented for this. If anyone has an input or advice, please let me know.

I have included sections demonstrating the benefits of caregiving. I feel as though this article needed these references to show that caregiving is not all bad, and can make the caregiver feel as though they are helping someone that they love. Programs I included were ones like the REACH project. I hope that I made a positive contribution to this article to anyone that reads it. KellyJ2013 (talk) 15:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Move

This article has been called caregiver syndrome. I am changing it to caregiver stress for the following reasons:

• "caregiver stress" is the more commonly used term in literature
• "caregiver syndrome" is a particular result of caregiver stress, and this article's content is about the general stress
• "Caregiver syndrome" gets about 2000 WP:GHITS, while "caregiver stress" gets over 200,000.
• While "caregiver syndrom" is a condition described in some medical literature, most of the sources used here are describing "caregiver stress"

Pasted content from "caregiver"

I just pasted a lot of content here from caregiver. Sorry for the mess, but it did not belong there because of WP:UNDUE and I was not ready to delete it. It fits here, but is a lot of content and needs to be shortened. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:10, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Added sub section under At-risk population

I worked on a project under a PhD professor about the implications of caregiving stress for those caring for children with CHD. Also nested the header "caring for those with PTSD" as a sub section of At-risk populations header. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amadoranahi (talk • contribs) 05:37, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

This was a better place to put this - nice find! But per Talk:Congenital_heart_defect#new_content and Talk:Congenital_heart_defect#additional_information_about_new_content_from_contributor. a bunch of the sources were not ok per WP:MEDRS; i removed them and left content based on one the source that was OK. (you can see WP:MEDDEF for the concise description of the kinds of sources that are OK here in Wikipedia) Jytdog (talk) 06:37, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
