Factors associated with family caregiver burden of patients with dementia
Our findings indicate that problematic behaviors in dementia patients, depressive symptoms, and quality of life are associated with the level of caregiver burden and distress. Further research is needed to differentiate these findings among different types of dementia and to better understand how caregivers' individual characteristics influence their own burden.
