"Doctor diagnose nurses heal, and caregiver make Sense of it all."
(Brett H. Lewis)
Caregivers and Consequences are closely related in the context of overloaded burden and responsibilities. The influence of caring has been seen on health and well-being of caregivers by studies. It has well documented that stress and perceived situation of personal danger or threatening have produced anxious behavior. Similarly, caregivers or spouses reported stress, anxiety and depression during their care given duties. Evidence suggests that "caregivers with HIV or other illness may be particularly vulnerable to stress and poor mental health" (Breuer, Myer, Struthers, & Joska, 2011; Prince et al., 2007; Silver, Bauman, Camacho, & Hudis, 2003; Surkan et al., 2010). Grunfeld et al., quoted that "family members provide a considerable amount of the care for people with terminal illnesses and their own health may suffer as a consequence".
