Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:Despite the joint pain and significant dysfunction that characterizes arthritis, many people with arthritis continue to carry out everyday duties and responsibilities. Our objective was to describe participation in informal caregiving (unpaid assistance to someone with a health issue or limitation) among people with arthritis. METHODS:Analysis of the baseline data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), a nationally representative sample of people aged 45-85 (n=21,241). The questionnaire covered socio-demographic, health, and caregiving variables. The caregiving variables examined characteristics of the person who received the most care from the respondent, as well as the types (e.g., hands-on vs. hands-off tasks) and amount (e.g., hours/week) of care provided. RESULTS:There was no difference in the proportion of people with and without arthritis who provided informal care (46%). Individuals with arthritis reported worse health, but this did not affect the likelihood of providing care, nor the types or amount of care provided. Caregivers with and without arthritis were most likely to provide fewer than 7 hours/week of care, and the most common type was hands-off care, particularly transportation assistance. Men were just as likely to provide care as women, but were less likely to provide high intensity care or perform hands-on tasks. CONCLUSION:Despite on average reporting worse health, people with arthritis were just as likely to provide informal care as people without arthritis. The need to provide informal care among people with arthritis may impact their ability to engage in self-management activities for their arthritis.
