Abstract | The study examined the relationship between caregiving stress and depressive symptoms
among family caregivers of people with intellectual disabilities (IDs) during the COVID-19
pandemic in Hong Kong. Caregiving stress consists of three components. It includes the key
characteristics of family caregivers, caregiving difficulty, and perceived burden. The
mediating role of perceived control in this relationship was also examined. The bootstrapping
mediation analysis was completed using Process Model 4. Forty-six family caregivers had
completed the survey. The results revealed that the difficulty in providing care and
caregivers’ perceived burden predicted depressive symptoms on family caregivers directly,
but not the key characteristics of the family caregivers. Nevertheless, perceived control was a
significant mediator in the relationship between each components of caregiving stress and
depressive symptoms. In other words, caregiving stress that associated with low perceived
control, predicts depressive symptoms on family caregivers of people with IDs.
