Background: In China, family caregivers play a major role in caring for people living with Alzheimer’s disease (PLWAD), but little is known about the burden this creates. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the burden among family caregivers of PLWAD and the factors influenced it. Methods: Family caregivers of PLWAD were recruited from a hospital in China from January 2018 to July 2018. All data were collected online using the Chinese version of the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), and the participants’ sociodemographic and caregiving details were obtained. T-tests and Kruskal-Wallis H (K) tests were used to compare ZBI scores between groups. Factors related to the caregiver psychological burden were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. Results: A total of 300 participants were assessed, of which 213 (71.00%) were female. More than half of the caregivers were the patient’s daughter (51.0%, n = 153). The average ZBI score of the caregivers was 43.05 (13.42). The level of burden was influenced by age, the relationship of the caregiver to the patient, the severity of AD, the caregiver’s retirement status, the income level of the caregiver, and the caring time. Regression analysis showed that retired caregivers were more likely to have higher levels of burden and that burden increased with AD severity. Conclusion: Most family caregivers of PLWAD have a considerable caregiver psychological burden. The findings increase the understanding of factors that influence family caregiver burden, and pave the way for potential interventions, such as social support and caregiver empowerment, to reduce their burden.

ABSTRACTBackground: The validity of self-reported quality-of-life (QoL) assessments of people with dementia (PWD) is a critical issue. We designed this study to determine the non-cognitive factors that are associated with self-reported QoL and PWD QoL as rated by family caregivers.Methods: Using a cross-sectional study, we assessed QoL of 41 people with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD). The individuals with AD and their family caregivers completed the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease Scale (QoL-AD), the Assessment Scale of Psychosocial Impact of the Diagnosis of Dementia (ASPIDD), the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale, the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), the Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ), and the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to examine the contribution of the various cofactors.Results: We observed a significant difference (t = 3.292, p < 0.01, d = 0.727) in the QoL measures of PWD after comparing self-reported assessments with the assessments of family caregivers. Linear regression analysis demonstrated that awareness of disease was related to PWD QoL-AD scores. Both the education levels of family caregivers and the depressive symptoms in PWD were related to the family caregivers’ ratings of PWD QoL.Conclusions: The difference between self-reported QoL and family caregivers’ ratings of QoL in people with mild dementia indicated that cognitive impairment was not the primary factor that accounted for the differences in the QoL assessments. Our findings suggested that non-cognitive factors, such as awareness of disease and depressive symptoms, played an important role in the differences between the self-reported AD QoL ratings and the caregivers’ AD QoL ratings. A major implication is that discrete measures such as cognition or level of function are likely to miss important factors that influence QoL.

This study investigated the financing needs and the financial management practices of banana farmers in Inopacan, Leyte, the relationship between financial management practices to profitability and the relationship of the various socio-demographic variables to the relevant financial management practices. The relevant financial management practices considered in this study were those found to be significantly related to profitability. Results showed that limited capital for labor and the occurrence of pests and diseases particularly bugtok, which is caused by a bacterium called Ralstonia solanacearum, were among the major problems expressed by the banana farmers that need financing. Financial management practices such as monitoring the status of loan and financial planning and budgeting were widely practiced by the farmers. Out of the 25 farmer-respondents who availed of loan, 21 of them monitored the status of their loans. More than half of them also practiced financial planning and budgeting of their income and loan. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that monitoring financial budgets and comparing farm profitability with that of other farms or benchmarking are significantly and positively related to profitability. The logistic regression analysis showed significant relationships of household size and being able to avail credit with the relevant financial management practices. The results imply that farmers who have more household members and who have availed of credit are more likely to monitor financial budgets and/or compare profitability with other farms.

Abstract Background Children with medical complexity (CMC) are defined by their medical fragility, dependence on assistive technology and substantial care needs. Family caregivers of CMC have unique challenges, such as prolonged hospitalizations and poor care coordination, which result in extensive caregiver stress. There is a great need to quantify the level of psychosocial stress and resilience in these caregivers to allow for appropriate allocation of health care resources. The Psychosocial Assessment Tool (PAT) is a brief parent-reported screening tool for measuring psychosocial risk in caregivers of pediatric populations. This is the first study to use the PAT in children with medical complexity. Objectives To quantify psychosocial risk in family caregivers of children diagnosed with medical complexity. To identify predictors of caregiver distress based on their sociodemographic factors. It was hypothesized that the extensive health demands of CMC will result in high amounts of chronic, ongoing caregiver distress relative to the previously studied pediatric populations. Design/Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. Family caregivers of children with medical complexity completed the PAT questionnaires during regularly scheduled Long-Term Ventilation and Complex Care clinic visits. Based on the overall PAT scores, caregivers were stratified as “Universal” low risk (&lt;1.0), “Targeted” intermediate risk (1.0 to 1.9), or “Clinical” high risk (≥2.0). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to examine the effect of sociodemographic variables and illness severity on total PAT scores. Comparisons with previous pediatric studies were made using T-test statistics. Results 136 [103 females (76%)] family caregivers completed the study. Mean PAT score was 1.17 (SD = 0.740). 61 (44.85%) caregivers were classified as Universal risk, 60 (44.12%) as Targeted risk, and 15 (11.03%) as Clinical risk. Compared to previously studied pediatric populations, our CMC have the second-highest overall PAT scores, which are also substantially weighted towards the higher risk categories (Table 1). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that subjective report of financial hardship by caregivers is a significant predictor of total PAT scores (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion Family caregivers of children with medical complexity report PAT scores amongst the highest of all pediatric populations. These caregivers experience significant psychosocial distress, demonstrated by larger proportions of caregivers in the Targeted and Clinical risk categories. Therefore, psychosocial interventions including financial assistance are urgently needed in this population.
