-
Human beings are social species which require safe and secure social surroundings to survive.

-
In dyadic interviews, two participants interact in response to open-ended research questions.
-
It appears that changes in the patients' behavior and in the interpersonal relations between caregivers and patients are associated with caregiver depression.
-
Two thirds (66%) of adult child caregivers in the control condition admitted their parent to a residential care setting compared with 37% in the treatment condition.
-
The intention-to-treat analysis identified no differences in outcome between the intervention and control conditions on primary or secondary outcomes [self-reported quality of life in Alzheimer's disease: mean difference 0.07, standard error (SE) 0.65; F = 0.48; p = 0.53].

In 2009, nearly 66 million Americans (three in 10 U.S. households) reported at least one person providing unpaid care as a family caregiver.
-
Random effects results suggest that caregiver burden weakens the inverse relationship between health utilities and institutional service use, leading to greater likelihood of institutional use than would be expected at a given level of health.
-

Social activity is associated with a decreased risk of incident disability in activities of daily living, mobility, and instrumental activities of daily living, among community-dwelling older adults.
-
A full understanding of the specific way that culture could influence family caregivers' burdens may play an important part in the development of a holistic model for family-centered care.
-
As shown in Table 2, attrition in LASA is associated with predictors and outcomes of interest to our research.
-
Psychotic/behavioral, depressive and minimally symptomatic clusters differed for caregiver burden and lack of insight.
-
Greater purpose in life is associated with a reduced risk of AD and MCI in community-dwelling older persons.
-
The purpose of this study is to compare demographic and clinical characteristics of caregivers and care recipients by caregiver type (i.e., daughter, son, daughter-in-law, and spouse) and to compare the caregiver burden among each type of caregiver.
-

There is little evidence that interventions aimed at supporting and/or providing information to carers of people with dementia are uniformly effective.
-
Caregivers were on average 64 years old, 72% female, and 49% were the spouse of the patient (32% wives, 17% husbands).
-
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between spiritual well-being and caregiver burden in family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease.
-
Counseling and support lead to sustained benefits in reducing depressive symptoms in spouse-caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients and should be widely available to provide effective, evidence-based intervention for family caregivers.
-
Meta-analysis was used to examine pooled parameter estimates of 9 active compared with 6 control conditions of the Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health (REACH) project at 6 months on caregiver burden and depressive symptoms.
-
Overall, participants in the Coping With Caregiving condition reported a significant reduction in depressive symptoms, increased use of adaptive coping strategies, and a trend toward decreased use of negative coping strategies when compared with those in the Enhanced Support Group condition.
-
There was a significant intervention effect as hypothesized for participants with lower mastery at baseline on all three bother (p =.04), anxiety (p =.01), and depression (p =.007).
-
Caregivers in the combined family therapy and technology intervention experienced a significant reduction in depressive symptoms at 6 months.
-
SAS PROC MIXED analysis showed burden to be associated with caregiver age, length of time involved in caregiving, custodial units, involvement in hands-on care, and expectations for care.
-
In older men, pathways occurred from chronic stress to distress to the metabolic syndrome, which in turn predicted CHD.
-
This study provides a comprehensive estimate of the excess costs that result from providing informal dementia care in the community.
-

Mean scores of emotional distress were significantly higher in carers at each time point than in controls (all p<0.0003).
-
The findings confirm that the non-cognitive features of Alzheimer's disease are stressful for carers and indicate specific relationships between mood-related and behavioural signs of depression, walking and sleep disruptions and hallucinations in patients and adverse carer outcomes.
-
The NPI-D provides a reliable and valid measure of subjective caregiver distress in relation to neuropsychiatric symptoms measured by the NPI.
-
The association between Alzheimer caregiving and natural killer (NK) cell activity and basal plasma levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol, beta-endorphin, prolactin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and neuropeptide Y was determined in 100 spousal Alzheimer caregivers and 33 age- and gender-comparable control volunteers upon intake into a study of the psychological and physiologic impact of caregiving.
-
The association between caregiver's stress and depressive symptoms, and sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of Alzheimer's patients and caregivers was evaluated in 63 primary caregivers consecutively recruited at the Alzheimer's Dementia Research and Care Unit of Brescia, northern Italy.
-
Spouse-caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients were randomly assigned to either a treatment group (individual and family counseling, support group participation, and ad hoc consultation) or a control group (only routine support).
-
Caregiving dynamics were studied in a sample of 157 Black caregivers of elders suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

Groups of spouse (N = 285) and adult child (N = 244) caregivers of elderly parents suffering from Alzheimer's disease were interviewed regarding their caregiving behaviors, evaluations of caregiving, and general psychological well-being.
-
The Screen for Caregiver Burden (SCB) is a measure designed to identify distressing caregiver experiences rapidly.
-
A study of 127 informal caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients in Florida's Tampa Bay area was undertaken to determine the correlates of the five components of burden, as measured by the Cost of Care Index, a multidimensional measure of caregiving burden.
-
After a baseline interview of 642 caregivers of aged Alzheimer's disease victims, half were offered formal respite care.
-
Although acute stress has been associated with transient immunosuppression, little is known about the immunologic consequences of chronic stress in humans.

-
The treatment aim of medical care for home-based patients with Alzheimer's disease is to maximize the functioning level of the patient without jeopardizing quality of life for the caregiver.
