Description:

Caregivers report positive feelings about caregiving, such as family togetherness and the satisfaction of helping others, yet they also frequently report higher levels of stress. For some caregivers, the demands of caregiving may cause declines in their own health. Evidence suggests that the stress of providing dementia care increases caregivers’ susceptibility to disease and health complications.

Interventions to support dementia caregivers have been developed to improve their health and well-being by relieving the negative aspects of caregiving. Some also aim to delay nursing home admission of the person with dementia by providing caregivers with skills and resources (emotional, social, psychological and/ or technological) to continue caring for their relatives, friends or neighbors at home. Specific approaches include providing education to caregivers, helping caregivers manage dementia-related symptoms, improving social support for caregivers and providing caregivers with respite from caregiving duties.

Further, primary care providers’ awareness and understanding of their patients’ caregiving responsibilities can help them manage the caregivers’ stress and physical health effects of caregiving, link them to needed resources and improve their overall quality of life.
