Why is it important?
Knowledge about what factors are associated with and predicting caregiver burden will better equip professionals to promote caregivers ability to continue caring for a person with dementia living at home.
Perspectives
I hope this article will contribute with knowledge for the healthcare and social service field to provide the caregivers with an individualized service, thus decreasing caregiver burden and increasing well-being and quality of life for the caregiver.
