Caregiving is often perceived as stressful for both the provider and recipient. Exchanges of emotional support between care recipient and care provider may attenuate these negative outcomes. Results support an equity model of exchange. Reciprocity of emotional support between caregiving wives and husbands who received care was linked to lower levels of caregiving burden and higher levels of marital happiness for wives. Reciprocity effects varied as a function of husbands' level of functional impairment, with the positive effects decreasing as level of disability increased. Among noncaregivers, exchange of emotional support with husbands was also related to higher marital satisfaction, but the effect size was smaller. The findings suggest that intervention strategies to increase the well-being of caregiving wives should include programs to enhance the exchange of emotional support between caregiver and care recipient.
