Revisiting Caregiver Preparedness: Development of a Multidimensional Measure for Dementia Caregivers
This study demonstrates the value of a multidimensional approach to measuring dementia-caregiving preparedness: feedback reinforced that preparedness for dementia-caregiving can vary across three dimensions. The Dementia-Caregiving PREP measure will be distributed to conference attendees and can be used to examine associations between caregiver characteristics and caregiving outcomes. This research will improve early intervention efforts to support caregiver and care recipient wellbeing.
