This study was conducted to examine how caregivers' psychological well-being influences the anxiety or depression of care recipients with dementia. A secondary data analysis was conducted using 666 dyads of older adults with dementia and their caregivers. The odds that care recipients with dementia would experience anxiety increased when caregivers had a negative relationship with care recipients (OR = 1.22, p = 0.042), lower perception of the positive aspects of caregiving (OR = 0.86, p = 0.047), or anxiety (OR = 2.41, p = 0.036). The odds that care recipients with dementia would experience depression increased when caregivers had a greater perception of the negative aspects of caregiving (OR = 1.15, p = 0.023) or anxiety (OR = 2.21, p = 0.045). Since care recipients with dementia and their caregivers spend considerable time together daily, caregivers' psychological well-being can impact care recipients' anxiety and depression.
本研究旨在探讨照顾者的心理健康如何影响痴呆症患者的焦虑或抑郁。使用 666 对患有痴呆症的老年患者及其照顾者的二次数据分析进行了研究。当照顾者与被照顾者的关系消极（OR=1.22，p=0.042）、对照顾的积极方面的认知较低（OR=0.86，p=0.047）或有焦虑时（OR=2.41，p=0.036），痴呆症患者出现焦虑的几率增加。当照顾者对照顾的负面方面的认知程度较高（OR=1.15，p=0.023）或有焦虑时（OR=2.21，p=0.045），痴呆症患者出现抑郁的几率增加。由于痴呆症患者及其照顾者每天都要花大量时间在一起，因此照顾者的心理健康会影响患者的焦虑和抑郁。
