Abstract
In this paper, I will delve into the social connections that caregivers maintain, looking at which factors facilitate or impede their retaining them. Using a role-theory framework, I will look at how both the experience and history of caregiving influence reaching out not only through interpersonal connections but also via social media. Interpersonal connections are aspects of social integration that can mediate some of the effects of caregiving on health, so it would be beneficial for caregivers to reach out to them (Moen et. al. 1995). However, the role strain perspective highlights that there is only a certain level of “time, energy, and commitment” that individuals can impart to these connections and associated roles (Moen et. al. 1995). Role theory addresses the dependent variable of seeking social integration as caregivers need it for their well-being, but they likely do not seek out these relationships because of role-strain.I pose the question:What are the social conditions that facilitate or hinder caregivers’ efforts to make social connections?
