The results showed subjective stressors to be associated with outcomes. Role overload was linked to psychological distress and to lower self-perceived health, whereas role captivity was associated with psychological distress and the intention to end home caregiving. The likelihood of ceasing home caregiving increased when caregivers reported high relational deprivation. A high percentage of the variance in psychological distress was explained (51%). The quality of prior husband-wife relationships, the frequency of disruptive behaviors, family conflicts, and self-efficacy were associated with this variable. Selfefficacy had a mediating effect between subjective stressors and psychological distress, whereas the number of services received had a moderating effect on the intention to end home caregiving among husbands with high role captivity. This study provides avenues for interventions sensitive to male caregivers.

The sample comprised 323 older husbands caring for their wives in Quebec (Canada). Nearly 60% of them spent at least 84 h/week caregiving and about 40% regularly performed personal care and instrumental tasks. Family provided emotional support above all and service utilization was limited for certain services. Husbands perceived relational deprivation but also personal gain relative to their role. Conflicts seldom occurred with family members. Comparisons between husbands of wives with and without memory problems revealed selected differences on context and relational variables. This study contributes to knowledge on male caregivers and provides directions for nursing practice and research.

However, there is still a lack of consensus on this appealing and challenging concept. Therefore, we present an overview of its definition, psychosocial determinants and conceptual models. We report that the meaning of the concept varies according to the cultural context (individualistic/relational societies), to the actors' perspectives (researcher/elderly) and according to the dominant approach (biomedical/holistic). Several models have also been identified: some are specific to a scientific domain and rely on a unique marker of well aging; others are multicriterion and embrace a broader field. Psychosocial factors are the most frequent determinants addressed by models. Among these factors, social and personal resources can be mobilized and learned, co...

In analysing the data, the Island of Montréal (health region 06) was distinguished from the rest of the province of Québec (excluding Nunavik and the James Bay regions). Relative rate index and the ratio of standardised incidence rates of cancer for males and females showed similar tendencies in all regions studied, with the risk of non-sex-specific cancer higher in men than in women (excess ranged from 5 or 20 to 240 percent according to the study region). However, this higher risk was not consistent across lifespan and cancer site in the Montréal area. We suggest some general points that could explain the differences in cancer incidence between males and females. Cette recherche porte sur la variation de l'incidence du cancer au Québec chez les personnes des deux sexes âgées de 35 à 69 ans, pour la période allant de 1989 à 1993. Les données ont été analysées en distinguant l'île de Montréal (région sociosanitaire 06) du reste du Québec (en excluant les régions du Nunavik et de la Baie James). Selon l'indice du taux relatif hommes/femmes et le ratio des taux standardisés selon le sexe, les résultats indiquent que les tendances de l'incidence sont similaires quel que soit le territoire étudié : le risque du cancer pour les sièges non spécifiquement masculins ou féminins est plus élevé pour les hommes que pour les femmes (excès allant de 5 ou 20% à 240% selon la région d'étude). Sur l'île de Montréal cependant, ce risque excessif varie selon le cycle de la vie et le type de cancer. Les auteurs présentent quelques hypothèses pouvant expliquer les différences de l'incidence du cancer entre les sexes.
