Regression models examining the relationships between caregiver mutuality, caregiver confidence in patient care, and perceived caregiver burden. (a) Regression model with caregiver mutuality predicting caregiver confidence in patient self-care. (b) Regression model with caregiver burden predicting caregiver confidence in patient self-care. (c) Regression mediation model with caregiver mutuality and perceived caregiver burden predicting caregiver confidence in patient self-care.

Regression estimates are standardized (β) coefficients. Significant regression coefficients are in bold. The relationship between caregiver mutuality and perceived caregiver burden (in (c)) is from a separate linear regression model with caregiver mutuality predicting perceived caregiver burden.
