“…When the analysis was performed according to the factorial structure of the burden (Turró‐Garriga et al, ), it was found that the caregivers who had a greater social and physical burden were the groups who cohabited with the patient, especially the adult–child group (Table ). In the intergroup differences, a moderate effect size was observed in the three evaluations ( η 2 = 0.04/0.12/0.11).…”

“…The total score ranges from 22 to 110 points, and a higher score implies a greater burden. For the burden factorial analysis, five factors were used that were identified by Turró‐Garriga et al (). Caregiver's health assessment. The Short Form‐12 Health Survey (SF‐12; Ware et al, ) was administered to the primary caregiver.…”

“…For the factorial analysis of the Caregiver Burden Interview (ZBI), we used the results of a study by Turró‐Garriga et al (), which identified five factors: factor 1: social and physical (items 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 17); factor 2: anxiety (items: 15, 16, 18 and 19); factor 3: guilt (items 20 and 21); factor 4: irritation (items 4, 5 and 9); and factor 5: dependence (1, 7, 8 and 14).…”

“…Because burden is a multidimensional entity, various factorial analyses of the Caregiver Burden Interview (Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI)) (Zarit et al, ) have been carried out. The results indicate that adult–child caregivers have greater feelings of guilt than spouses (Ankri et al, ; Sanders et al, ; Turró‐Garriga et al, ), particularly the non‐live‐in adult–child group (Conde‐Sala et al, ). In addition, living with the patient involved a greater physical burden (Raccichini et al, ).…”

Kinship and cohabitation in caregiver burden 1 Viñas-Diez V, Turró-Garriga O, Portellano-Ortiz C, Gascón-Bayarri J, Reñé Ramírez R, Garre-Olmo J, Conde-Sala JL. Kinship and cohabitation in relation to caregiver burden in the context of Alzheimer's disease: a 24-month longitudinal study. Key points• The results of the longitudinal analysis established a greater burden (ZBI) on live-in adult-child caregivers, and a smaller burden on non-live-in adult-child caregivers, with stable scores on the follow-up for both groups. Spouses had a low burden in the early stages, with a significant increase during the follow-up.• Variations between spouses and adult-child caregivers are attributable to the different nature of the marital and child-parent relationship, and to the cohabitation factor.• The different types of caregivers have relevant socio-demographic and clinical features which help to characterize them: gender, cohabitation with persons with dementia, education, marital status, sole caregiver or not sole caregiver, and the use of external resources. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) were used for longitudinal data analysis.Results: Spouse caregivers were 45.0% men, sole caregivers (> 80%), used few external resources, and had worse physical health. The number of female adult-child caregivers was higher (>75%). The live-in adult-child group, compared with the non-live-in adult-child group, were less likely to be married, had a lower level of education, were more commonly the sole caregiver, and used fewer external resources. The greatest burden was observed in live-in adult-child caregivers, and the lowest in the non-live-in adult-child group, with no significant variation in the follow-up for both groups. Spouses had an intermediate level of perceived burden, which rose significantly during follow-up (p <0.001).Conclusions: Kinship and cohabitation with the PwD were associated with different scores and evolution of the burden, with an increase in the follow-up of the spouses, and with more or less burden, depending on cohabitation, in the adult-child groups. Interventions to reduce the level of burden on caregivers should consider these differences.

“…Progressive cognitive impairment and invalidating functional disability are the principal characteristics of AD, and they are the main causes of caregiver burden (Turró‐Garriga et al ., ; Zarit et al ., ). The perception of burden is complicated by the psychological and behavioural symptoms of dementia (PBSD; Finkel and Burns, ), which especially include psychotic disorders, aggression, depression and sleep disorders (Sörensen et al ., ; Turró‐Garriga et al ., ; Yueh‐Feng and Guerriero‐Austrom, ).…”

Key points:The presence of anosognosia in Alzheimer's disease patients is an independent factor for increases the burden of their caregivers. The presence of anosognosia increasing physical wear, social isolation, dependence and tension related to patient care. SUMMARYObjectives Anosognosia is the lack of deficit awareness, and it is a common symptom in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between anosognosia and caregiver burden. Methods This was a cross-sectional, analytical study of patients who were diagnosed with AD and their caregivers. Anosognosia was evaluated using the Experimenter Rating Scale (ERS), and caregiver burden was evaluated using the Burden Interview (BI). Using the BI's comprehensive scoring and each of its five factors as dependent variables, six linear regression models were adjusted to determine the effect of anosognosia on caregiver burden. Results The sample consisted of 124 patients and 124 caregivers. The mean patient age was 78.9 years (SD=6.9); the mean caregiver age was 59.7 years (SD=13.6), and 66.6% of the caregivers were women. The prevalence of anosognosia was 24.2% (95% confidence interval=16.7-33.3). The degree of caregiver burden was associated with the degree of anosognosia (r 2 =.426; standardised beta [βs]=.346; p<.001), which explained 14.7% of the variance. For the BI factors, the ERS was associated with physical and social burden (r 2 =.452; βs=.378; p<.001), relationship of dependence (r 2 =.301; βs=.203; p=.010) and emotional stress (r 2 =.212; βs=.227; p=.014). Conclusions The presence of anosognosia in patients with AD is an independent factor that increases caregiver burden by increasing physical wear, social isolation, dependence and tension related to patient care.
