The moderated mediation effect of caregiving stress and social support in the relationship between behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and caregiver burden in Oman: a cross-sectional study
The research highlights the complex nature of caregiver burden in BPSD, indicating that caregiver stress increases the connection between BPSD and burden, while social support moderates this association. Specific interventions must incorporate stress reduction approaches, address patient-specific care needs, and enhance caregiver support systems to effectively reduce burden.
