Effects of Informal Caregivers on Function of Older Adults in Home Health Care

---

Abstract.
This study aimed to examine the effects of informal caregivers on the functioning
of older adults in home health care (HHC). The authors performed
a secondary data analysis using the Outcome and Assessment Information
Set of older adults (N = 8,750) who were admitted to a HHC agency from
acute care hospitals. We conducted hierarchical multiple linear regression
with functional dependence after a 60-day episode of formal HHC as an outcome
variable. The older adults with informal caregivers showed less functional
dependence at discharge (β = −0.821, p = .027) than those without
informal caregivers. Older adults who have a spouse (β = −3.886, p < .001),
offspring (β = −3.614, p < .001), relative (β = −4.360, p < .001), or nonrelative
(β = −4.977, p < .001) caregiver showed less functional dependence at
discharge compared with those who had a paid caregiver when controlling
for risk factors.
