Long Summary

Using a national sample of 170 care recipient–caregiver cohabiting dyads, this article investigates a model linking care recipient's weekly work hours to psychological outcomes experienced by the care recipient and his or her caregiver. The research indicates that people with disabilities should be supported in the workforce by reducing/eliminating stressors, and that such work should be evaluated within the context of the caregiving relationship.
