“…Studies indicate that caring can place a significant level of burden on caregivers resulting in poorer physical and psychological wellbeing (Bell, Araki & Neumann, 2001;Gallagher-Thompson & Powers, 1997). This in turn can affect the care they provide, sometimes leading to premature institutionalisation of the person with dementia (PwD) (Bédard, Pedlar, Martin, Malott & Stones, 2000) or even elder abuse (Wolf, 1998).…”

“…Burden is often studied as an outcome in its own right (Kramer & Kipnis, 1995;Ostwald, Hepburn, Caron, Burns, & Mantell, 1999) as well as a predictor of other caregiving outcomes (Gallagher-Thompson & Powers, 1997;Hughes et al, 1999). Distinguishing between burden and quality of life, Montgomery (1989) argued that burden refers to experiential differences among caregivers, whereas the more generic concept of well-being is useful for comparing caregivers and noncaregivers.…”
