Influence of positive and negative dimensions of dementia caregiving on caregiver well-being and satisfaction with life: Findings from the IDEAL study

The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Mar 29, 2019

Quinn C, et al. - Researchers examined how positive (caregiving competence and perceptions of positive aspects of caregiving) and negative (caregiving stress and role captivity) dimensions of caregiving are associated with caregiver well-being and satisfaction with life (SwL). From the Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (also known as IDEAL) cohort study, time-point one data of 1,283 informal caregivers of people with mild-to-moderate dementia recruited from 29 sites in Great Britain were used. Low caregiving aptitude, seeing fewer positive aspects of caregiving, high caregiving stress, and high role captivity were noted in correlation with lower well-being and lower SwL. On combining these four measures within the same model, well-being and SwL were independently correlated to only positive aspects of caregiving and caregiving stress. These results emphasize considering positive caregiving experiences and their implications for caregiver well-being and SwL in addition to the negative aspects of caregiving in psychological therapies and interventions.
