ABSTRACT
Dementia caregivers suffer a considerable care burden. They are confronted with a high rate of economic burden, psychological morbidity, social isolation, physical ill-health and financial hardship. Although many researchers have tried to determine the influence of the stressors in dementia caregiving on caregivers, the results remain inconclusive. However, many kinds of psychosocial interventions have been demonstrated to reduce caregivers'psychological symptoms and delay nursing home admission. Caregiver characteristics rather than objective care needs tend to be responsible for a caregiver's psychological symptoms. Future research should focus on individualizing treatment approach and developing partnerships with health professionals as well as disseminating general information about dementia caregiving.
