Abstract
Complex medication regimens that result in medication administration hassles, the daily irritants that caregivers experience when assisting another person with a medication regimen, are now known to be related to increased caregiver strain. This paper reports data regarding the prevalence of the most intense individual medication administration hassles by selected caregiver characteristics (gender, race, age, employment status). The results underscore the necessity and utility of asking caregivers specific questions about multiple aspects of their medication administration responsibility, and provide insight into groups that should be targeted for information access and educational support.
