Abstract/Summary

Caring for an individual with a physical illness can be a challenging responsibility. With the negative effects of caregiving that have been the primary focus of several studies, this study addressed this issue by focusing on the positive side of caregiving. With a sample of 106 family caregivers of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury, aged 18-76 years old, the study utilized a cross-sectional study design and tested the hypotheses that self-efficacy will predict psychological wellbeing and that perceived social support will enhance the relationship. Using regression and moderation analyses, results revealed that self-efficacy significantly predict psychological wellbeing and perceived social support did not moderate the relationship between self-efficacy and psychological wellbeing. Implications of these results for the study of caregivers are discussed.
