*2.3. Data Analysis*

This study provided descriptive analysis, including measures of central tendency and variability for the demographic characteristics. Additionally, the chi-square test was used to compare the participants' characteristics based on the stress levels (low, moderate, and high). Bivariate correlation examined individual relationships between the level of stress (criterion variable) and the predictors. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify which of the work-related factors were best predictors for stress level. Beta scores (standardized coefficients) allowed identifying those variables with the most significant contribution to informal caregivers' emotional stress.
