520 $a Caregiving for an older relative is a rather common and potentially stressful experience. Tasks of caregiving include providing care during the dying process and adjusting to the death of a loved one. Interventions for family caregivers could be improved by understanding the nature of family caregivers' death attitudes, the factors that influence caregivers' death attitudes, and the effect that death attitudes have on the caregiving experience. The present study provided evidence of differences in the caregiving experience for men and women as well as for adult child and spousal caregivers. Evidence of the reliability and validity of two measures of death attitudes was evaluated, indicating support for their use with family caregivers. Additionally, predictors of coping with death and fear of death among family caregivers were identified. The findings of the regression analyses were consistent with hypotheses derived from a comprehensive model of death anxiety, suggesting that the model may be used to explain the death attitudes of family caregivers. Suggestions for future research and limitations of the present study also were discussed.
