Higher level of caregiver mastery was found to be associated with lower odds of anxiety presentation in persons living with dementia (PLWD). A comprehensive education program for caregivers to improve their caregiving skills and mastery is suggested to reduce anxiety in PLWD.
Anxiety is common in persons living with dementia (PLWD), and particularly burdensome for caregivers. Little is known about how caregiver factors such as caregiver mastery can influence anxiety in PLWD. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between caregiver mastery and anxiety in PLWD. Secondary data analysis was conducted using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of 170 dyads of community residing PLWD and their caregivers. Logistic regression analyses were used for data analyses. After controlling for covariates (e.g., age, cognitive impairment, sleep impairment, and depression), a higher level of caregiver mastery was related to lower odds of anxiety presentation in PLWD (OR=0.870, 95% CI=0.759-0.998, p=0.046). As caregiver mastery is related to anxiety in PLWD, a comprehensive education program for caregivers that can improve their caregiving skills and mastery is suggested to improve anxiety in PLWD.
