Oppression Of The Caregiver's Curren
Caregiving is tough and the reality is that it can lead to strain and burden for those who are caregivers. It can become hard work and it may not be the most pleasant at times.
“Caregiver burden is an emotional and/or physical illness associated with the demands of caring for an ill family member” (Mauk, 2014, p. 977).
