Description
Scott Wilks and co-authors test what predicts how healthy dementia care partners feel, in this 2023 paper. A telehealth program serving these partners kept hearing about mental strain and isolation. The team asked whether confidence in caregiving could offset that strain.
Ninety-five partners of people with Alzheimer's or related diseases answered measures of loneliness, anxiety, depression, and caregiving confidence. Nearly all scored in the clinically anxious range. Statistical models weighed which factors tracked the partners' own health ratings. The findings guide support programs toward the levers that matter most for caregiver health. The findings guide support programs toward the levers that matter most for caregiver health and staying power.
