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.
