Description
Wesley Browning and co-authors study how family conflict feeds elder abuse and neglect by dementia caregivers, in a research paper from 2023. Conflict with relatives strains caregivers and may raise the chance they mistreat the person in their care. The team followed 453 caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias.
Caregivers fell into four groups by conflict level, from low to a group marked by abuse accusations. Spouses clustered in the low group, while step- and in-law caregivers leaned toward the accusations group. Day-level models showed that conflict stress on a given day predicted mistreatment that same day, but not the next. The link held for adult child and nontraditional caregivers, not for spouses or grandchildren. The authors suggest conflict skills training as a new target.
