“…The average daily care time for family caregivers in our study was 9.31 ± 6.11 hours, aligning with similar findings reported in a study [7] where daily care time for older adults with dementia averaged over 9 hours. Since the implementation of the long-term care insurance system for older adults in 2008, various social supports have been established to alleviate the caregiving burden for families of older adults with dementia.…”

“…Notably, in Korea, a high-income country, families caring for older adults with dementia at home dedicate more hours than the standard legal working hours. The time spent in caring for older adults with dementia directly impacts caregivers' burden, with increasing care time correlating with heightened burden [7]. To address this, it is crucial to ensure that primary caregivers receive adequate rest.…”

“…There are more women than men who are the primary caregivers of older adults with dementia, and daughters tend to most frequently have the strongest relationships with their parents with dementia [6]. The time that these family caregivers care for the older adults with dementia is reported to be more than 9 hours on average per day [7].…”

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors influencing the caring behavior of the primary caregivers of older adults with dementia at home. Methods: A total of 125 primary family caregivers, responsible for the care of older adults with dementia across eight dementia care centers, participated in the study. Data were collected from August 1 through September 8, 2022, and analyzed using t-tests, analysis of variance, the Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results: Participants had a mean age of 47.4±14.2 years, and the mean score for caring behavior was 3.89±0.40. Caring behavior was influenced by the availability of help (β=.22, p=.015), the educational level of older adults with dementia (middle school β=.32, p=.008; high school β=.24, p=.045), care experience evaluation (β=.21, p=.023), and family resilience (β=.22, p=.014). The explanatory power was 25.4% (F=6.27, p<.001, adjusted R²=.25). Conclusion: To enhance the caring behavior of primary caregivers for older adults with dementia at home, nursing interventions that positively impact dementia care experiences are necessary. Regular access to community resources for assistance is crucial. Additionally, programs should be developed to strengthen family resilience, enabling family members to support each other during challenging situations. Emphasizing education is essential to enhance awareness of care aspects among primary caregivers of older adults with dementia.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors influencing the care burden faced by family caregivers of older adults with dementia who use dementia care centers.Methods: This study investigated the care burden, family caregiver factors, care-recipient factors including behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), depression levels, dementia attitudes, and resilience. Data were collected from March 15 to September 30, 2022. In total, 234 family caregivers using dementia care centers in five districts in Seoul, Korea, participated. Data were analyzed using the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS/Windows version 27.0.Results: The mean score for care burden was 22.97. The factors influencing the care burden were BPSD (ß = .41, p < .001), depression levels (ß = .26, p < .001), hours of caregiving (ß = .18, p < .001), and resilience (ß = -.12, p = .022). The explanatory power of the final model was 46.1% (F = 47.76, p < .001).Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the care burden faced by family caregivers. Based on these results, programs for family caregivers should be developed with consideration of BPSD in older adults with dementia. Additionally, interventions that relieve depression and strengthen the resilience of family caregivers should be prioritized. Furthermore, it is essential to extend support systems to accommodate caregivers’ time constraints.
