Summary: The study found that persons with dementia and their caregivers faced difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic, including worsening behavior, problems accessing care, disruptions in functional activities, and struggles in enforcing infection prevention measures.

Resilience and supporting people living with dementia during the time of COVID-19; A qualitative study

Kerry Hanna et al.

Summary: The study explored resilience factors for people living with dementia and unpaid carers during the COVID-19 pandemic, identifying protective and risk factors in communication, adaptations, support networks, lifestyle factors, and coping mechanisms. Organizational factors for external support and individual coping mechanisms were found to be important for building resilience, with implications for future service planning and support during times of great stress. The ecological model of resilience established from this research may be relevant not only in the context of unexpected changes during the pandemic, but also in other high stress periods within this population.

Caring for Relatives with Dementia in Times of COVID-19: Impact on Caregivers and Care-recipients

Andres Losada et al.

Summary: The study investigated how 88 caregivers perceived the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their mental health and the well-being of the care-recipients. Results showed that most caregivers perceived a worsening of care-recipients' symptoms and their own negative emotions, with some considering giving up caregiving. Having had COVID-19, reporting higher levels of distress, and giving up caregiving were related to perceived worsening in care-recipients well-being.
