✦ Synopsis

Caregiving for elderly patients with dementia is a hard and risky job. It is clear that caregiving has an important impact on mood, quality-of-life, physical and psychological health of the patient's family members. Frequent episodes of depression, immunity disorders, altered capacity for wound healing, increased consumption of psychotropic drugs, and increased mortality have all been described convincingly (Schulz and Beach, 1999;Belmin, 2003). However, there is insufficient evidence available on how carers can best be supported on the large-scale basis that is needed in this era of highly prevalent dementia. In the research conducted so far, feasibility, individual tailoring of interventions, cultural and social contexts of care, as well as the efficiency (effectiveness and cost) of the interventions are seriously neglected.
