Dementia knowledge and caregiver burden among carers of older adults in rural eastern Uganda
Higher dementia knowledge and lower income were associated with increased caregiver burden in rural eastern Uganda. Caregiver burden, caregiver depression, and older adult characteristics (female, depression, anxiety, and loneliness) were linked to older adult depression. Caregiver and older adult mental health factors also influenced older adult anxiety and loneliness.
