Social and depressive stress suffered by spouses of patients with mild dementia
Sammanfattning
The objective was to identify stressors and their correlates in spouses of patients with mild dementia by means of a retrospective study of patient records in Memory Clinic at Ullevaal Hospital in Oslo. Even in mildly demented patients, symptoms of carer stress are frequent. Supportive strategies such as early diagnosis, information for carers and intervention strategies are discussed.
