Moderating role of positive aspects of caregiving in the relationship between caring burden and suicidal ideation in family caregivers of community-dwelling older adults with neurocognitive disorders

Psychological intervention that strengthens PAC should be integrated into comprehensive caregiver support programmes, particularly for those experiencing high burden and high distress.
