Literature has highlighted the many difficult experiences of family caregivers, with the term caregiver burden often used to describe these experiences. This term was first documented in the 1980s to describe the financial, social, emotional, psychological, and physical consequences of caregiving (George & Gwyther, 1986). Since then, caregiver burden has been defined through the categories of objective and subjective burden.
