Family caregivers of people with dementia (2009, background): “Levels of psychological distress and stress are significantly higher, and levels of self-efficacy, subjective wellbeing, and physical health significantly lower, in dementia caregivers than in other caregivers; these differences are even larger when compared with noncaregivers.(40) Many factors may ”
