Caring for persons with multiple and profound disabilities, family members are exposed to a special burden and challenges. The aim of this study was to investigate the subjective burden of caring relatives of people with severe disabilities and the effects of caring on their subjective well-being. In particular, the aim was to find out whether, and to what extent, caregiving burden is compatible with the experience of well-being or not. The research study sample consisted of 549 »informal« caregivers, of which 292 were caregivers of people with disabilities and 257 were caregivers of people without disabilities. The results of the study showed the higher and lower levels of burden and well-being, respectively, of family caregivers of people with severe disabilities, compared to family caregivers of people without disabilities. The terms »burden« and »wellbeing « are usually treated as separate concepts in related studies of family caregivers. In this study, burden is also examined and analyzed in relation to feelings of well-being. The results show that family caregivers may be burdened, but at the same time experience equally high levels of satisfaction. Finally, the joint assessment of the dimensions of strain and well-being that coexist in the experience of family caregivers enables the identification of personal and social resources that can be incorporated into interventions targeting family caregivers.

This paper addresses the definition of cyberbullying. The emancipation of this term during the past decade is described and put in contrast to traditional bullying. Furthermore, themeaning of the subjective strain of affected persons is explored, which is largely neglected in definitions and the state of the art of cyberbullying. This is based in empirical data of 40 qualitative interviews of adolescents who were 13 to 17 years old.The explorative examination was based in the GroundedTheory.These demonstrate insistently several aspects of the subjective strain from which victims suffer. Overall, the findings indicate that a holistic view on cyberbullying should not exclude the subjective perception of affected persons. In contrary, it should rather address them through further research.
