Impact of Caregiver Burden and Care Recipients' Activities of Daily Living Abilities on Caregivers' Occupational Dysfunction.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionCaregiver stress is primarily caused by family and social life disruptions that limit the caregivers' abilities to engage in meaningful activities, leading to occupational dysfunction. We are aimed at determining the proportion of occupational dysfunction among primary caregivers, its association with caregiver burden, and examining the effects of caregiver burden and care recipients' activities of daily living (ADL) abilities on primary caregivers' occupational dysfunction.
methodsA cross-sectional, facility-based survey was used to investigate the proportion of occupational dysfunction among primary caregivers and its association with caregiver burden. A path analysis was conducted to assess the impact of caregiver burden and care recipients' ADL on occupational dysfunction among primary caregivers. This study included 75 daycare rehabilitation user/primary caregiver pairs. Occupational dysfunction, caregiver burden, and ADL were assessed using the Classification and Assessment of Occupational Dysfunction scale, Zarit burden interview (Japanese version), and the Barthel index, respectively. The impact of caregiver burden and care recipients' ADL on primary caregivers' occupational dysfunction was assessed using correlation and path analyses.
resultsThe mean age of the primary caregivers and care recipients was 65.2 ± 9.8 years (72.0% were female) and 82.4 ± 7.1 years (48.0% being female), respectively, and 45.3% of the caregivers exhibited occupational dysfunction. Path analysis indicated that a decline in the care recipients' ADL was associated with an increased caregiver burden and subsequently related to higher occupational dysfunction. The model fit indices were as follows: χ
conclusionsLower ADL abilities among care recipients were associated with higher caregiver burden and greater occupational dysfunction among primary caregivers. These findings indicate that interventions aimed at reducing caregiver burden and addressing caregiver support needs warrant further investigation.
