Abstract:ABSTRACT

This study examined the role that faith-based organizations play for caregivers in maintaining the elderly and disabled in their homes. The study explored if persons who use religious beliefs and practices cope with caregiver stress better than those who do not use religious beliefs and practices. The study also explored the role of religious coping as a factor affecting decisions to institutionalize, and the role that faith-based practices and organizations play in helping caregivers maintain the elderly and disabled in their homes.
Keywords:Elderly  older adults  spirituality  religiosity  religious coping  caregiving  caregiver burden  caregiver stress  faith–based organizations  congregations  disabled persons
