What significance has the Internet as a source of information for family caregivers of dementia patients?
In Middle Franconia (Germany), 391 family caregivers were requested to participate in a questionnaire-based postal survey about the significance of the Internet and other sources of information on dementia. The family caregivers in question were the relatives of patients of the Memory Clinic at Erlangen University Psychiatric Hospital, members of the Alzheimer's Society of Middle Franconia or the Nuremberg Family Counselling Society.
Younger and better-educated family caregivers more often own a computer with Internet access than older ones. The Internet is in 4th place on their list of sources of information. Although doctors are by far the most important source, counselling centres and literature are rated only just before the Internet.
The Internet is particularly significant for the younger better-educated family caregivers, independent of gender, as a source of information on the diagnosis and treatment of dementia.
互联网作为痴呆症患者家庭照顾者的信息来源有何意义？
在德国中弗兰肯地区，391名家庭照顾者被要求参与一项基于问卷的邮寄调查，内容涉及互联网及其他痴呆症信息来源的重要性。这些家庭照顾者是埃尔朗根大学精神病医院记忆诊所患者的亲属、中弗兰肯地区阿尔茨海默病协会成员或纽伦堡家庭咨询协会成员。
与年长的家庭照顾者相比，年轻且受教育程度较高的家庭照顾者更常拥有可上网的电脑。互联网在他们的信息来源列表中排第四位。尽管医生是迄今为止最重要的信息来源，但咨询中心和文献的排名仅略高于互联网。
互联网对于年轻且受教育程度较高的家庭照顾者而言，无论性别，作为痴呆症诊断和治疗信息的来源具有特殊意义。
