Striking a balance: health behaviour changes in Chinese spouses of people with dementia to manage dementia risk: a qualitative study
This study highlights how caregiving experiences influence spouses' health behaviors and dementia prevention, particularly in the Chinese context. The findings underscore the challenges of balancing caregiving with self-care. Culturally tailored, family-centered interventions are needed to support both caregivers and their long-term well-being.
