This longitudinal study of 196 caregiver/care receiver dyads was undertaken to determine the variables predictive of caregiver decision to institutionalize a dependent with dementia. Seven variables (use of services, enjoyment of caregiving, caregiver burden and health, caregiver rating and reaction to care receiver behavior and memory problems, and presence of troublesome behaviors) predicted the decision to institutionalize. Six variables (caregiver health and burden, use of services, care receiver cognitive function and troublesome behaviors, and caregiver reaction to behaviors) predicted actual institutionalization at 18 months.
这项针对196对照顾者/被照顾者二元组的纵向研究旨在确定能够预测照顾者将痴呆依赖者送入机构照料这一决定的变量。七个变量(服务使用情况、照顾体验、照顾者负担与健康状况、照顾者对被照顾者行为及记忆问题的评分与反应,以及存在麻烦行为)可预测送入机构照料的决定。六个变量(照顾者健康与负担、服务使用情况、被照顾者认知功能与麻烦行为,以及照顾者对行为的反应)可预测18个月时实际送入机构照料的情况。
