Note: [1] PWB psychological well-being, PR positive relations with others, AU autonomy, EM environmental mastery, PG personal growth, PL purpose in life, SA self-acceptance. [2] All models have p-value < 0.001. [3] Caregiving intensity is measured as time spent with the care recipient (hr/day). [4] Backward elimination is performed on caregiving appraisals, coping and their subscales only. [5] Controlled confounders are always included as predictors in the models. Confounders include age and gender of caregiver and care recipients, caregiver education, caregiving intensity, caregiver duration, type and stage of dementia. [6] For each outcome, only predictors with p-value < 0.10 are shown
