Carer burden in dementia

Out of sight out of mind? Support and information given to distant and near relatives of those with dementia

“…Burden was not assessed using any of the recognised measures (see Vitaliano et al, 1991) (which are applicable more to care-givers), but both groups reported subjectively similarly high levels of emotional stress at being a relative of a dementia sufferer. This high level is consistent with previous studies (Burns and Rabins, 2000) but perhaps it is surprising that we found equally high levels of stress reported by both groups.…”

Factors Affecting Burden of South Koreans Providing Care to Disabled Older Family Members

“…The ability of the caregiver to assume care demands has also been studied.

A Korean study also reached the similar conclusion that family caregivers who were less capable, due to their own health or rival responsibilities, report higher levels of burden (Choi, 1993).…”
