The Caregiver's Burden of Alzheimer Patients: Differences Between Live-In and Non-Live-In
American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias, 07/02/09

Raccichini A et al. - The objective of the study was to describe the burden of a sample of 208 live-in/non-live-in caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Understanding the aspects of this burden in the initial-intermediate phase of the disease and being able to monitor it over time could contribute to improving the interventions already in place, which affect burden, stress, and quality of life of caregivers and their sick family members.
