Abstract:	Aim: To investigate the association of long- term care nursing assistants' dual caregiving roles with mental health and to determine whether social support moderates this relationship.Design: A cross- sectional survey. Methods: We surveyed 962 certified long- term care nursing assistants working in long- term care and medical facilities across Taiwan from October 2022 to July 2023. 'Dual caregiving roles' denote the fulfilment of caregiving duties both at work and within families. Mental health was evaluated using the 5- item Brief Symptom Rating Scale. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the association of dual caregiving roles and psychological job demands with poor mental health. Moreover, we explored whether family, colleague, and supervisor support moderated the association between dual caregiving roles and poor mental health. Results: Among long- term care nursing assistants, 15% had dual caregiving responsibilities. Individuals with both dual caregiving roles and high psychological job demands faced the highest risk of poor mental health compared to those without dual caregiving roles and low psychological job demands. Having dual caregiving roles was associated with poor mental health compared to workers without such roles. Additionally, support from family, colleagues, and supervisors mitigates the association between caregivers' dual caregiving roles and poor mental health. Conclusion: A substantial proportion of long- term care nursing assistants had dual caregiving roles, leading to an additional mental health burden when combined with high psychological job demands. High social support attenuated this association. Implications for the Profession: Long- term care nursing assistants with dual caregiving roles had poorer mental health outcomes. Yet, support from family, colleagues, and supervisors mitigated these effects. These results emphasize the importance of enhancing social support to protect the mental well- being of long- term care nursing assistants managing both formal and informal caregiving duties.
