From April 1996 to January 1997, a total of 76 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and their caregivers were recruited for participation in a comprehensive assessment at the Veterans General Hospital-Taipei, a 2,198-bed tertiary-care teaching hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. The AD patients responded to the Chinese version of the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument. Primary caregivers rated the patients using the Symptom Check List-90 (SLC-90) and the Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist and then rated themselves with the caregiving burden scale (CBS), coping strategies scale and the short version of the Geriatric Depression Score (GDS-S). The internal consistency of the CBS, as assessed by Cronbach’s α, was 0.849. The correlations between the CBS, SCL-90 and GDS-S ranged from 0.435 to 0.698. The CBS scores increased with disease progression and were higher among spouse caregivers than adult children caregivers. Multiple-regression analysis revealed that caregivers with higher CBS scores were more likely to have lower education levels and to use the meaning subscales of coping strategies, and that these caregivers’ patients had greater disruptive behavior and were older (R² = 0.727, p = 0.001). The current study establishes the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the CBS for assessment of Chinese caregivers of AD patients.

Background: Behavioral and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD) are important predictors of institutionalization as well as caregiver burden and depression. Previous reviews have tended to group BPSD as one category with little focus on the role of the individual symptoms. This review investigates the role of the individual symptoms of BPSD in relation to the impact on different measures of family caregiver well-being.

“…Research indicates that a caregiver's well-being, stress levels, life satisfaction, and mental and physical health are often negatively influenced by the caregiving process itself (Colerick and George, 1986;Coppel, Burton, Becker, and Fiore, 1985;Deimling and Bass, 1986;George and Gwyther, 1986;Gilleard, Boyd, and Watt, 1982;Haley, Brown, and Levine, 1987a;Kinney and Stephens, 1989;Rabins, Mace, and Lucas, 1982). Research results have consistently indicated that variables within the caregiver or caregiving process, such as diminished social and recreational activities, as against variables specific to the recipient of care, such as difficult behavior, prove to be reliable predictors of the burdens caregivers will experience (Argyle, Jestice, and Brook, 1985;Colerick and George, 1986;Deimling and Bass, 1986;Kinney and Stephens, 1989).…”

To examine the relationship among religious participation, stress, and well-being, 84 caregivers of Alzheimer's patients and 81 control subjects completed the Religiosity Scale, Life-3, and Medical Outcomes Study well-being measures. Caregivers only completed the Relative's Stress Scale. No differences were found between groups in religious practices, although caregivers indicated higher levels of clergy-visiting than the others and control subjects indicated a greater met need for contact with the church or synagogue. In contrast, control subjects show higher levels of well-being, social functioning, and mental health than caregivers. In care-givers, significant relationships were found among several religiosity variables, stress, and well-being.
