The majority of the sample had adaptive styles of problem solving and good indicators of emotional health. However, a negative attitudinal orientation to the problem and maladaptive styles of problem solving (Impulsivity/Careless) correlated positively with the presence of anxiety, corroborating previous studies with informal caregivers.enBiologyZoologyarticle
