Understanding the Well-Being of Care Receivers.

Pruchno, Rachel A.; And Others

Gerontologist, v37 n1 p102-09 Feb 1997

Used data from 129 people over the age of 60 to test a model in which the contributions made by older care receivers predicted subjects' personal control and psychological well-being. Physical health predicted the extent to which elders contributed to the family; elder contributions to the family increased their sense of control. (RJM)
