摘要

Despite the proportion of older people caring to someone aged 65 + is increasing worldwide, the research about the impact of caregiving on health remains focused on intergenerational support. This study conducts a scoping review to explore the international evidence about how caring affects the older carers’ health, identifying the knowledge gaps and future lines of research. The study performs a scoping review of 12 studies published between 2010 and 2022, conducted following the five-stage methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley. Evidence so far revealed that caregiving has a negative impact on the physical, mental, and emotional health of the older caregivers. However, positive health outcomes were also observed. The impact of caregiving on older carers’ health is an emerging research topic that needs further theoretical and methodological developments, as well as multidisciplinary approaches, to advance in the understanding about how caregiving affect older carers’ health.
