Unpaid caregivers (CG) provide most of the assistance to persons with dementias (PWD) living in the community. This study explores the current state of knowledge regarding the concept of sense of coherence (SOC) and CG of PWD via a concept analysis. The identified defining attributes were health, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), CG burden, CG stress, coping as a strength, gender, and decreasing sense of CG coherence over the progression of the disease (dementia). Further study by health care professionals using clinical observations, large samples of respondents, a consistent theory, valid and reliable instruments used to measure defining attributes consistently, and critical reviews of the literature are needed.
非专业照护者（CG）为居住在社区中的痴呆症患者（PWD）提供了大部分的护理帮助。本研究通过概念分析探讨了关于PWD的连贯感（SOC）概念和CG的现有知识状态。所确定的定义属性包括健康、健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）、CG负担、CG压力、作为一种优势的应对方式、性别以及随着疾病（痴呆症）进展CG连贯感的降低。医疗保健专业人员需要通过临床观察、大量受访者样本、一致的理论、用于持续测量定义属性的有效且可靠的工具以及对文献的批判性综述进行进一步研究。
