In this paper we present a review of the literature on men caring for a relative with dementia. While there is an abundance of literature on caregiving in general, there is a dearth of information on male caregiving and in particular on the role of sons as carers. Keywords used were dementia, Alzheimer's disease, caregiver, caregiver burden, caregiver support, sons, spouses, husbands, men, fathers, male, widowers, help seeking behaviour, parent child relations, gender identity and combinations of these. The inclusion criteria stipulated that papers had to be research based, written in English, published between the years 1999 and 2010 and related to men caring for a person with dementia. The categories that emerged from the literature included men in a caregiving role, gender differences in caregiver burden, support services and sons as carers. Further research is needed to highlight the needs and experiences of men in a caregiving role.
在本文中，我们回顾了关于男性照顾痴呆亲属的文献。虽然有大量关于一般护理的文献，但关于男性护理的信息却很少，特别是关于儿子作为护理者的角色的信息。关键词是痴呆、阿尔茨海默病、护理者、护理者负担、护理者支持、儿子、配偶、丈夫、男性、父亲、男性、鳏夫、寻求帮助的行为、亲子关系、性别认同以及这些词的组合。纳入标准规定，论文必须是基于研究的，用英文写成，发表于 1999 年至 2010 年之间，与男性照顾痴呆患者有关。文献中出现的类别包括承担护理角色的男性、照顾者负担的性别差异、支持服务和儿子作为护理者。需要进一步的研究来强调男性在护理角色中的需求和体验。
