Multiple caregivers, many minds: Family discord and caregiver outcomes.

DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: We found that lower quality of family care coordination was associated with negative caregiver outcomes. Future research should further investigate the dynamics of family care coordination and impacts on both caregivers and care recipients. The results suggest that caregiver interventions attempting to understand and decrease care coordination discord should be a priority. PMID: 32539097 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
