Using the demand-control model of job strain to predict caregiver burden and caregiver satisfaction in the informal caregivers of heart failure patients . OBJECTIVES The demand-control ( D-C ) model of job strain has generated a considerable body of empirical support in predicting psychological health outcomes in the context of work . This study aimed to extend previous work using the D-C model of job strain to predict caregiver burden and satisfaction in the informal caregivers of patients with heart failure . DESIGN AND METHOD Data were gathered from 60 caregiver/patient dyads in a cross-sectional design . Patients with chronic stable heart failure were recruited from out-patient clinics . The dependent variables were caregiver burden and satisfaction . Demand and control were measured using both patient- and caregiver-derived measures . RESULTS The D-C model accounted for 15 and 19 % of the variance in caregiver burden , after controlling for age , gender and relationship to the patient . Lower control was associated with higher burden . The D-C model did not predict caregiver satisfaction . CONCLUSION The D-C model was associated with caregiver burden , but not satisfaction in caregivers , with control being the dominant predictor . Research linking the theory and findings from job strain and informal caregiving studies may elucidate both fields of research . Using the demand-control model of job strain to predict caregiver burden and caregiver satisfaction in the informal caregivers of heart failure patients .
