130: The Relationship Between Caregiver and Patient Well-Being
Episode 130
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026
Research shows that there is a direct correlation between caregiver distress, depression, and physical strain and patient rates of hospitalization and even mortality. In this episode, Allison and Justin talk about the vicious cycle of the caregiving role causing these symptoms but then how the symptoms themselves can make caregiving more challenging. They also dig into what, if anything, can be done to prevent caregiver burnout. --- Join us for an online support group related to this episode on Sunday, April 19, from 6:00-7:15pm CT.
