Dissertation
Caregivers of family members with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias: Coping skills and caregiver burden
2008
Overview
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between coping styles and feelings of burden among caregivers of a family member with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. This study examined perceptions of the role of caregiving and how the giver of care copes with related stressors. The 26 participants included 21 female and 5 male caregivers who were attending a caregiver support group through the Alzheimer's Association of Orange County. Participants completed a three-part self-administered questionnaire, which consisted of respondent demographics, coping strategies, and level of burden. Participants identified problem solving coping strategies as the most commonly used method of reducing distress. Seeking social support was recognized as the second most popular strategy, while avoidance coping was the strategy least used. Avoidance coping was significantly associated with higher levels of burden. Community resources that aid in caregiving were used infrequently. Social workers and others serving this population should implement clinical, case management, and advocacy services designed to maximize the coping skills of caregivers of family members with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia. Future studies should use larger, more diverse samples and longitudinal designs.
