title: [The psychological and social situation of women caregivers--contributions from empirical studies].
abstract: This paper discusses different situations of family caregiving. It points to special tasks and stresses in the following situations: Help to stroke patients during rehabilitation at home, caregiving to patients who are suffering from a physical or a mental disease, and support of family members who have to cope with impending death. As the analysis makes clear, different situations of caregiving cause different tasks and stresses which should be regarded in discussing the psychic and social situation of caregivers.
