摘要
We examined the direct and buffering effects of different dimensions of social support on the risk of being institutionalized over a 2-year period. Multivariate analyses indicated that specific aspects of social support, such as having a spouse or adult child caregiver, or having a caregiving relationship of at least 3 years' duration, moderated the impact of one type of stress (being highly dependent on others for care) on the risk of entering a nursing home. Networks that included a paid provider modestly offset the impact that multiple IADL impairments had on being admitted at least once to a nursing home.
