ABSTRACT
The main aim of this study is to investigate the role of emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills in impacting caregiver burden among informal caregivers. Informal caregivers are the main providers of care for the elderly. Caregiving for elderly and individuals with chronic illnesses often entails significant emotional challenges, yet the extent to which the caregivers’ ability to regulate emotions and tolerate distress influences experience of burden remains understudied. A purposive sample of 135 caregivers from Chandigarh, Panchkula, Mohali and Delhi NCR was studied. The results revealed that overall, emotional regulation and distress tolerance impact the experience of burden by informal caregivers.
