Dementia and Nondementia Caregivers Serving as Confidants: Implications for Their Psychological Well‐Being

This study extends prior work by revealing how serving multiple roles affects caregivers' psychological well-being and corroborating differences between dementia and nondementia caregiving. More research is needed to better understand the unique stressors dementia caregivers may be exposed to when serving as confidants for their care recipients, and interventions should be customized to allocate targeted resources to caregivers faced with different demands.
