Analysis of the current situation and related influencing factors of caregivers'benefit finding in senile dementia patients
Objective To assess the current situation of caregivers'benefit finding in senile dementia patients and analyze its related influencing factors.Methods A total of 79 senile dementia patients and their caregivers admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to February 2023 were included in the study.The care-giver Benefit Finding Questionnaire(BFQ)was used to assess the caregiver'benefit finding,and a self-de-signed general information questionnaire was administered.Linear regression analysis was conducted to identi-fy the factors influencing benefit finding among caregivers of senile dementia patients.Results The BFQ scores of the 79 caregivers of senile dementia patients were(95.58±8.76),indicating a moderate level of care-givers'benefit finding.There were statistically significant differences in BFQ scores among caregivers with different occupational statuses,caregiving durations,levels of social support,and levels of self-efficacy(P＜0.05).However,no statistically significant differences were found in BFQ scores among caregivers with differ-ent demographic characteristics(P＞0.05).Linear regression analysis revealed that non-employment status,caregiving duration less than one year,low levels of social support,and low levels of self-efficacy were influen-cing factors for benefit finding among caregivers of senile dementia patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Benefit finding among caregivers of senile dementia patients is at a moderate level and may be influenced by factors such as occupational status,caregiving duration,social support,and self-efficacy.
