Understanding the burden and influencing factors in family caregivers’ medication assistance for patients with dementia: a survey study
The burden was influenced by various factors indicating "difficulty." The study highlighted the importance of simplifying medication usage by reducing the number of doses, addressing medication refusal through third-party intervention, and customizing assistance to individual needs based on the psychological conditions of patients and caregivers. These approaches aim to alleviate disharmony between medication and lifestyle.
