“…Even though the effectiveness of psychotropic drugs is limited and some (for instance, typical antipsychotics) have potentially harmful side effects, psychotropic drugs are widely used in nursing homes to treat MPS in psychogeriatric patients [2,5,15,16]. Integrative psychotherapeutic programmes are still lacking, even though previous studies have indicated that psychotherapeutic treatment may be effective at reducing individual psychiatric symptoms (such as depression and anxiety) and caregiver burden in both nursing home and primary care settings [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. …”

Background/Aims: The prevalence of multiple psychiatric symptoms (MPS) in psychogeriatric patients is about 80%. MPS have negative effects on caregivers; 70–80% of caregivers are moderately to heavily burdened. We tested an integrative psychotherapeutic programme (IRR) focused on MPS as well as caregiver burden. To develop decision rules in indicating IRR, prognostic potentialities of diagnostic and functional baseline variables for a favourable outcome of IRR were identified. Methods: Patients with a DSM-IV classification of dementia, amnestic disorders or other cognitive disorders were followed in a randomised controlled trial, comparing IRR (n = 81) with usual nursing home care (n = 87). Assessments at T1 (intake) and T2 (6 months’ follow-up). Results: In the combined prognostic models Alzheimer dementia showed significant prognostic qualities for improvement on NPI sum severity (OR 3.01), IRR on general burden and competence of caregiver (OR 2.29 and 3.34). Cognitive functions had low prognostic value. Conclusion: Prognostic modelling of positive change on severity of MPS and caregiver burden was feasible. Applying three decision rules, all resulted in IRR as indicated intervention. It seems justified to refer psychogeriatric patients suffering from a broad range of cognitive function disorders, specifically patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type, to the IRR programme.

“…Alternative care possibilities, such as visiting caregivers or dedicated inpatient institutions, are not available in Turkey. Worldwide, approximately 8.9 million persons are estimated to be looking after patients over 50 affected by Alzheimer's or dementia from other causes [4] . Caregivers who lack the training needed care for these patients are under pressure because of the increasing needs.…”

Objectives: Most of the Alzheimer's patients are looked after at home by family members. Caregivers who are not prepared for looking after these patients are under pressure because of their increasing needs. Both patients and family members need social support provided by not only healthcare professionals but also family, friends and neighbors in order to cope with their physical, psychological, social and economical problems. This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship between care burden and perceived social support of family caregivers who look after an Alzheimer's patient.Methods: This study was cross-sectional and conducted at a neurology outpatient clinic of a university hospital. 107 family members who take care of an Alzheimer's patient was included. Personal information form, Barthel Index (BI), Lawton-Brody Index (LBI), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) were used to collect data.
