| Abstract: | To explore the detrimental effects of caregiver burden, in relation to caregivers of people with dementia, and highlight caregiver burden as an emerging health care problem. The purpose of the literature review is to inform health care professionals of the barriers to utilizing community respite services by caregivers and discuss the significance of respite services to caregivers of people with dementia. |
| Description: | Dementia is one of the leading contributors to burden of disease and disability. Increasing numbers of spouse and family caregivers play crucial roles in providing support for people with dementia enabling them to continue living in the community. Caregiver burden occurs in individuals when the demands of caregiving exceeds their resources. Community respite services are valuable resources which provide individuals a break from their caregiving role. |
