Cover Story: This study explores the determinants of caregiver contribution (CC) to self-care among older adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) in a middle-income country. Conducted in Albania on 376 MCC patient–caregiver dyads, it identified key factors influencing CC to self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management. Younger and unemployed informal caregivers, those with longer caregiving experience, and those providing more weekly care hours showed higher CC levels. Conversely, older, employed, and spousal caregivers, as well as those sharing care with a second caregiver, demonstrated lower CC. These findings highlight the crucial role of informal caregivers and the need for targeted interventions to strengthen their engagement in chronic disease management within resource-limited contexts. View this paper
