Caregiving refers to the act of providing physical, emotional, and/or financial support to individuals who are unable to care for themselves due to age, illness, or disability. Caregivers can be family members, friends, or healthcare professionals, and their role typically involves assisting with daily activities, managing medical care, and offering companionship and emotional support. Caregiving research focuses on understanding the challenges and rewards of caregiving, identifying effective strategies for supporting caregivers, and exploring the impact of caregiving on both the caregiver and the care recipient. This research area is important for informing policy decisions, healthcare interventions, and support services for caregivers and their loved ones.
