“…Approximately 62 per cent of the caregivers came from the Montreal metropolitan area, while the other subjects came from two other urban areas (Saguenay/Lac Saint-Jean and Bois-Franc) of the province. In each area, the subjects were recruited through various sources: CLSCs (Local Community Services Centres), Alzheimer Associations, community organizations, short-term geriatric units, physicians, publicity and a register of caregivers compiled for an Alzheimer's research project (Gauvreau et al, 1988). To be included in the study, caregivers had to be a member of the family, live with the demented relative, and have the main responsibility for his or her daily care.…”

RÉSUMÉLe but de l'étude consistait à identifier les facteurs liés à l'utilisation de trois services communautaires (centre de jour, répit à domicile et aide ménagère) et ceux liés à leur non utilisation due à une barrière empîchant le recours à ces services. L'échantillon comprenait 265 aidants cohabitant avec un parent souffrant de démence. Pour chacun des services, des analyses de régression logistique polytomique ont été effectuées où un groupe d'utilisateurs et un groupe de non utilisateurs percevant une barrière ont été contrastés avec un groupe de non utilisateurs rapportant ne pas avoir besoin des services. Pour les trois services, lorsque le parent présente une condition de santé particulièrement fragile (perte d'autonomie fonctionnelle élevée ou comportements dysfonctionnels fréquents), les aidants ayant une détresse psychologique élevée, comparés à ceux ayant une faible détresse psychologique, ont plus tendance à rapporter ne pas avoir besoin de l'un ou l'autre service, suggérant que la détresse psychologique peut nuire à l'utilisation des services, mîme si la condition du parent est détériorée. Des facteurs de vulnérabilité (prendre soin d'un parent ayant de fréquents comportements dysfonctionnels ou avoir une détresse psychologique élevée et prendre soin d'un parent ayant une perte d'autonomie peu élevée) sont liés à l'utilisation du centre de jour ou du répit à domicile. Ces mêmes facteurs sont aussi liés à la non utilisation de ces services à cause d'une barrière, indiquant que des aidants avec les mêmes caractéristiques de vulnérabilité n'utilisent pas ces deux services. De plus, les aidants ayant peu de soutien informel et qui prennent soin d'un parent ayant une perte éleéee d'autonomie avaient plus tendance à percevoir une barrière à l'utilisation du répit à domicile.

Informal and formal support for caregivers of a demented relative: Do gender and kinship make a difference?

Gender and kinship were examined with regard to caregivers' use of informal and formal support and to two models of support (substitution or supplementation). Three groups of caregivers of a demented relative living at home--husbands, wives, and adult daughters--were compared on measures of both informal and formal support. The gender hypothesis deals with the similarities among caregivers of the same gender with respect to support. The kinship hypothesis refers to the similarities among caregivers having the same kinship with the carereceiver. The gender hypothesis was confirmed for informal informational support while the kinship hypothesis was supported for informal conflictual support. For most of the comparisons, the three groups of caregivers shared more similarities than differences. The interchangeability between informal and formal support seems to fall under the perspective of kinship because the daughter group is the only one where a model of supplementation was observed.

The Canadian Study of Health and Aging includes 18 centres, and all provinces are represented. The objectives of the study are: to estimate the prevalence of dementias, especially Alzheimer''s disease; to study risk factors for Alzheimer''s disease; to describe patterns of caring and to measure the burden on those who care for people with dementia; and to create a data base for future research. A representative sample of 10,250 Canadians aged 65 or over are recruited, including 9,000 living at home and 1,250 in institutions. Participants are screened for cognitive impairment. Those who are considered to be cognitively impaired (and an equal number who are not) are invited to undergo a clinical examination including a battery of neuropsychological tests. Proxies for the cases and controls complete a risk factor questionnaire; caregivers complete a separate questionnaire. Results of the pilot study are discussed.
