This study investigated the impact of attachment style on the course of dementia-related problem behavior and caregivers' well-being over 2 years. A total of 116 married couples with one spouse suffering from dementia participated. Care recipients' and caregivers' attachment styles were assessed at the beginning of the study. Caregivers' well-being and care recipients' dementia-related problem behavior were assessed three times (n = 68). Husbands' and wives' attachment styles were significantly associated. Caregivers' avoidance and care recipients' insecure attachment style were associated with increased levels of dementia-related problem behavior. Caregivers' avoidance and anxiety were also associated with lower levels of caregivers' well-being. The latent growth curve analysis indicated that problem behavior and attachment style are associated, and that both have direct effects on caregivers' well-being.
本研究调查了依恋风格对痴呆相关问题行为进程以及照顾者幸福感在两年时间内的影响。共有116对夫妻参与，其中一方配偶患有痴呆症。在研究开始时评估了受照顾者和照顾者的依恋风格。对照顾者的幸福感和受照顾者与痴呆相关的问题行为进行了三次评估（n = 68）。丈夫和妻子的依恋风格显著相关。照顾者的回避型以及受照顾者的不安全依恋风格与痴呆相关问题行为水平的增加有关。照顾者的回避型和焦虑型也与照顾者较低的幸福感有关。潜在增长曲线分析表明，问题行为和依恋风格相关，且二者均对照顾者的幸福感有直接影响。
