Sense of coherence, subjective burden, and anxiety and depression symptoms in caregivers of people with dementia: Causal dynamics unveiled by a longitudinal cohort study in Europe
This large longitudinal study shed more light on interplays between SOC, subjective burden and mental health outcomes in dementia caregivers. Findings were consistent with SOC potential protective role against burden and psychological morbidity. However, they also supported reverse causality regarding part of the associations. Caregivers' SOC levels may be directly influenced by subjective burden and psychological morbidity.
