B= beta estimate, OR= odds ratio, CI= 95% confidence interval; The sample for this analysis includes 451 same-household caregivers of care receivers with dementia. Model 1 presents results of the original hypothesized model and Model 2 presents a post-hoc test where a variable reflecting whether care provision for the care receiver interrupted the caregiver’s sleep was also included.
