Abstract

Background: The demands associated with informal caregiving for a person with dementia have been shown to lead to high levels of stress in caregivers. This not only has serious consequences for caregiver health but also reduces their effectiveness as a caregiver. The aim of this study was to explore these issues and to investigate the potential mediation impact of social and psychological capital.

Method:A cross-sectional survey using questionnaire date collection was completed by 326 family caregivers for a person with dementia, recruited through support groups and day-care centres.

Results: A cross-sectional survey using questionnaire date collection was completed by 326 family caregivers for a person with dementia, recruited through support groups and day-care centres.

Conclusion: A cross-sectional survey using questionnaire date collection was completed by 326 family caregivers for a person with dementia, recruited through support groups and day-care centres.
