New diagnosis: caregiver role strain.
Caregiver role strain is a new diagnosis accepted by NANDA in 1992. The diagnosis is a well-described family phenomenon that can be measured and predicted. Sources of variance for the various defining characteristics have been identified. The diagnosis is also important to society. Nurses can play a significant part in reducing the role strain caregivers feel or preventing its occurrence.
