CAUSES OF CAREGIVER BURNOUT Along with the heavy workload and emotional demands of family caregiving, these issues also can contribute to burnout. • CONFLICTING DEMANDS as you try to balance
the needs of the care recipient, coworkers and employers, family members, and yourself. • LACK OF CONTROL over money and resources and a lack of the skills needed to effectively manage a
loved one's care. • LACK OF PRIVACY because caregiving may leave you with little time to be alone. • ROLE CONFUSION, difficulty separating your roles as caregiver and as the parent,
sibling or spouse of the care recipient. • UNREASONABLE DEMANDS placed upon a caregiver by other family members or the person being cared for. • UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS about the effect
caregiving efforts will have on loved ones with progressive diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. _Sources: Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine_
