Abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine psychological distress
reported by family caregivers of dementia patients in Hong Kong. A
sample of 177 caregivers was recruited from local non-governmental
organizations. Patient self-care ability and behavior problems, caregiver
burnout symptoms and psychological distress were assessed, using validated
Chinese versions of existing reliable and valid scales. Regression
analyses were conducted to determine the impacts of self-care ability,
behavior problems and burnout symptoms on caregiver psychological
distress. Results showed that patient self-care ability and problem behavior
were associated with caregiver psychological distress (B=-.185
&.277, p<.05). A full mediation was observed where the addition of
burnout symptoms to the regression model reduced the relation of patient
self-care ability and problem behavior to caregiver psychological distress
(B=.000 & .039). The final model accounted for 54% of the variance
in caregiver psychological distress. Implications for practice and
policy are discussed. |
