The elderly with dementia occur cognitive decline and they are considered normal by the family, and then causing the need for care from elderly. This is not following the ability of home care by the family as an informal caregiver for the elderly with dementia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of caregiver demands on the ability of families to do home care for elderly dementia.
An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The sample size is 100 respondents with a cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed using SEM-PLS.
Caregiver demands have a direct effect on increasing the family's ability to do home care for elderly dementia with a -value = 0.011 ( ≤ 0.05), t statistic value of 2.557 (≥1.96). Caregiver demands have four indicators, including care receiver impairment, caregiving activities, competency of caregivers, and caregiver/family relationship with elderly dementia. The condition of the elderly who experience various changes supports the increasing need for care to receive care and recovery as well as special attention from the family.
The higher the need for care, the higher the family's ability to do home care. This research implies that the family has a duty in the health sector to provide care for the elderly at home/home care, which strengthens the need for care, this supports caregiver empowerment and increases the independence of the elderly with dementia.
患有痴呆症的老年人会出现认知衰退，而家人认为这是正常现象，进而导致老年人需要护理。这超出了家庭作为痴呆症老年人非正式照料者的家庭护理能力。本研究的目的是分析照料者需求对家庭为老年痴呆症患者提供家庭护理能力的影响。
采用横断面设计的分析性观察研究。样本量为100名受访者，采用整群随机抽样技术。通过问卷调查收集数据，并使用结构方程模型-偏最小二乘法（SEM-PLS）进行分析。
照料者需求对提高家庭为老年痴呆症患者提供家庭护理的能力有直接影响，p值 = 0.011（≤0.05），t统计值为2.557（≥1.96）。照料者需求有四个指标，包括受照料者的损伤情况、照料活动、照料者的能力以及照料者/家庭与老年痴呆症患者的关系。经历各种变化的老年人的状况支持了对护理的需求不断增加，以获得护理和康复以及来自家庭的特别关注。
护理需求越高，家庭提供家庭护理的能力就越高。本研究表明，家庭在卫生部门有责任在家中为老年人提供护理/家庭护理，这强化了护理需求，这支持了照料者赋权并提高了老年痴呆症患者的独立性。
