“…Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, disabling and long-term neurodegenerative disease, characterised by cognitive impairment, progressive loss of autonomy and behavioural disorders, often manifesting with memory loss and subsequent progression to an inability to perform basic activities of daily living [23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…Lack of strategies to cope with these demands may have a negative impact on the quality of care provided to the person as well as on the quality of life of the informal caregivers themselves. The literature shows that the quality of life of informal caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease has been shown to be lower than that of informal caregivers of people without Alzheimer's disease, which may be one of the driving factors for the abandonment of care provision, as well as the increase in work restrictions and decrease in productivity rates [24,26].…”

“…Thus, physical frailty is defined as a consequence of multiple causes inherent to the aging process and characterized by a decrease in strength and resistance, reduction of physiological function, consequent increase of vulnerability and subsequent development of dependence [9,30]. As previously mentioned, family caregivers are mostly family members, partners, spouses, friends or neighbours who assist in a wide range of care assistance to the frail elderly person, experiencing a substantial physical, financial and psychosocial burden, as well as stress associated with decreased quality of life by the continuous character and longevity of their role as caregivers, often going against the satisfaction of their own needs [24,29,30]. Currently, musculoskeletal symptoms are closely related to the provision of care by informal caregivers, influenced by emotional factors, excessive workloads and poor training, particularly at the ergonomic level [29].…”

(1) Background: Due to the increase in care needs, especially in the elderly, the concept of caregiver has emerged. This concept has undergone changes over the years due to new approaches and new research in the area. It is in this context that the concept of informal caregiver emerged. (2) Objectives: To analyse the evolution of the caregiver concept. (3) Methods: Bibliometric analysis, data collection (Web of Science Core Collection) and analysis (Excel; CiteSpace; VOSviewer). (4) Results: Obtained 22,326 articles. The concept emerged in 1990, being subjected to changes, mostly using the term "informal caregiver" since 2016, frequently related to the areas of Gerontology and Nursing. The following research boundaries emerged from the analysis: “Alzheimer’s Disease”, “Elderly” and “Institutionalization”. (5) Conclusions: The informal caregiver emerges as a useful care partner, being increasingly studied by the scientific community, particularly in the last 5 years. Registration number from Open Science Framework: osf.io/84e5v.

“…Resilience is a process of effectively negotiating, adapting or managing important causes of stress or trauma [16] and has been continuously studied for caregivers of patients with dementia. Their resilience has been shown to increase both their physical and mental well-being [17] while reducing their anxiety and depression and facilitating coping [18]. Recently, studies on the resilience of family caregivers caring for dementia patients have been increasing, but studies that can lead to a deeper understanding of that resilience by integrating previous studies' results have not yet been su ciently undertaken.…”

Aims: To integrate the results of qualitative research on the resilience experiences of family caregivers for patients with dementia.Design: A qualitative meta-synthesis study was conducted. Methods: Five electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science) were used in a comprehensive literature search. We used meta-ethnography methods and systematically reviewed. Results: Through the process, three themes emerged: ‘Seeing life as a caregiver as one’s duty’, ‘Setting boundaries in life’, ‘Moving forward toward a developing life.’ These themes illustrated how family caregivers of patients with dementia overcome the adversities they encounter. Conclusion: This study shows the positive power of family caregivers of patients with dementia possess for overcoming their difficult situation. The results of this study suggest an important direction that can lead to positive ways to solve the problems of caring for dementia patients while reducing the suffering of caregivers and improving their quality of life.

Background As the burdens related to dementia caregiving are vast, this study aimed to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and different types of burden reported by family caregivers of patients with dementia. Methods Data from the 2019 Korea Community Health Survey were used. The association between life satisfaction and caregiving burden reported by family caregivers of patients with dementia was investigated using multivariable regression analysis. These burdens resulted from social prejudice and temporal, physical, psychological, or economic reasons. Life Satisfaction was measured using the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Better Life Index. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the residing status of patients with dementia and the region of residence of the caregiver. Results Data of 12,617 participants were analyzed. Compared to individuals with no burden, those who reported a burden due to temporal (β -0.23, p = 0.003), psychological (β -0.18, p <0.001), and economic (β -0.27, p <0.001) demands showed poorer levels of life satisfaction. These tendencies were maintained in caregivers residing with patients and those providing care for institutionalized patients. Regarding the region where the caregiver lived, for those living in rural regions, burdens related to social prejudice or economical demands were associated with poor life satisfaction. Conclusion Family caregivers reporting caregiving-related burdens for temporal, psychological, or economic reasons had lower life satisfaction. These findings suggest the importance of considering caregiver’s different needs and conditions when implementing coping strategies when caring for individuals with dementia.
