“…The ZBI and MSPSS scores of caregivers were higher than average in our study. A previous study had showed that 18 of 24 centers had ZBI scores between 23 and 37 [51] . ZBI scores in this report were lower than in our study (53.09 ± 18.19).…”

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.

“…Globally, almost 80% of the caregivers are women. They could be the mother, wife or daughter of the person with dementia [2,10,19,20,21]. A study found being a female caregiver predicts a higher level of burden [18].…”

“…A comparative study on caregivers in 24 centers in India, China and South-East Asia found most caregivers were women and lived with the person with dementia in extended family households. Larger households were associated with lower caregiver strain [21]. Evidently, a challenge in dementia care in the Asian regions is the need to have an in-depth understanding of the concerns of female caregivers and to develop ways to support them.…”

Background/Aims: With an increasing life expectancy, the number of people suffering from dementia globally will rise to about 115.4 million by 2050. It is projected that in the 21st century, the majority of the world’s older people will be living in Asia. This paper examines the global issues of family caregiving for older persons with dementia from an Asian perspective. Methods: Literature review of published empirical studies from 1990 to October 2010. Results: A full understanding of the specific way that culture could influence family caregivers’ burdens may play an important part in the development of a holistic model for family-centered care. Well-designed psychoeducation interventions or multicomponent interventions could help in reducing caregivers’ burden. With socio-economical and demographical changes, families need to be supported when taking on the caregiving role and be offered alternatives of care. Conclusion: There is a need for future trials with more rigorous randomization and longitudinal follow-up to assess family caregiver burdens at different illness stages. Future studies could focus on protective factors that promote caregivers’ resilience. It is essential to develop psychometrically robust measures for family caregiver burden and gain.

“…According to the Alzheimer's Association, eighty percent of care provided to individuals with AD is provided by unpaid caregivers such as family members and friends (Schulz and Martire, 2004;Schneider et al, 1999;Alzheimer's Association, 2013;Prince and Dementia Research, 2004). In 2012 alone, American caregivers provided approximately 17 billion hours of unpaid care to those with AD.…”
