Abstract:Objective To explore the care ability and influencing factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD) caregivers. Methods A total of 261 AD caregivers from four nursing homes in Hu'nan Province from December 2020 to April 2021 were selected as study subjects to analyze the care capacity of AD caregivers and analyze the influencing factors. Results AD caregiver care score (28.46±9.11) and average for all items (2.85±0.91). Scores from high to low are family support,family cohesion and family care cognitive ability. Univariate analysis showed that AD gender, cultural background,combined chronic disease, number of night arousal, caregiver gender, working status, and patient ability to live with caregiver (P <0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed independent effects of caregiver gender, caregiver work status,whether caregiver lived with patients, cultural background of AD patients, and complete inability of patients to care for AD (P<0.05). Conclusion AD caregivers have a moderately low care capacity. Carever gender, work status, whether to live with patients, and cultural background were independent factors of caregiver's care ability.
