Comparisons in Frequencies of Caregiving Activities by Caregiving Intensity
| Caregiving activities | High intensity (n = 57) | Low intensity (n = 95) | t (150) | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADL-related activities (0–20) | 11.28 (5.04) | 2.01 (2.43) | 15.25 | <.001 |
| IADL-related activities (0–20) | 17.70 (1.99) | 12.27 (3.75) | 10.11 | <.001 |
| Mobility activities (0–12) | 6.02 (3.56) | 1.76 (0.58) | 8.72 | <.001 |
| Health system logistics (0–20) | 19.54 (1.75) | 16.48 (4.75) | 4.69 | <.001 |
| Health management (0–20) | 13.31 (0.75) | 4.71 (3.44) | 13.66 | <.001 |
Note: ADL = activities of daily living; IADL = instrumental activities of daily living. Mean and standard deviation values for each of the analyses are shown. Results of t-test assuming equal variance compare the parameter estimates between the two clusters. High scores indicate that caregivers help activities more often.
