Abstract
  • As the number of children being diagnosed with developmental disabilities continues to increase, so do the number of caregivers caring for those individuals. Due to the increased amount of care required by children with disabilities, caregivers often sacrifice their health and well-being to ensure these individuals’ needs are being met (Brown et al., 1993; Earle & Heymann, 2011; Li et al., 2015). The inability of caregivers to tend to their own needs due to caregiving responsibilities creates increased caregiver stress. Caregiver stress predicts caregiver psychological well-being (Cramm & Nieboer, 2011, Dyches et al., 2016). As a result of caregivers experiencing increased stress, they are likely experiencing decreased psychological well-being (Cramm & Nieboer, 2011). Respite care services provide caregivers temporary care for their child with a disability, with the primary goal being to provide the caregivers temporary emotional, physical, and mental relief (Cowen & Reed, 2002). Through engagement in respite care services, caregivers experience decreased stress and burden, providing for increased psychological well-being (Remedios et al., 2015). The purpose of my doctoral capstone experience was to decrease caregiver burden and improve the psychological well-being of caregivers of children with mild to moderate disabilities, ages 5-18, through the development and implementation of a respite care program at Noblesville First United Methodist Church (NFUMC).
