This study in China found that the prevalence of depression among primary caregivers of people with dementia was 42.8%, with health condition being the most related factor to caregiver's depression.
This study aims to estimate the prevalence and factors of depression in primary caregivers of people with dementia in China, based on a biopsychosocial medical model. A sample of 285 caregiver-patient dyads was recruited from a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Nanjing, between December 2018 and November 2019. The prevalence of depression among primary caregivers of people with dementia was 42.8%. Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that caregivers' gender (OR=4.692), social support (OR=0.131), health condition (OR=12.994), extraversion (OR=0.102) and neuroticism (OR=2.978) were predictive of depression in those caregivers. Of the above, health condition was the major factor associated with caregiver's depression. The Box-Tidwell method was used to show a linear relationship between continuous independent variables and dependent variable logit conversion values (p = 0.0045). Suggestions are provided to develop support service programs and interventions tailored to caregivers, to help meet their basic substance and mental health needs. (147 words). (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc.
