This study aims to explore the emotional, financial, and health-related stressors and challenges experienced by caregivers attending to patients living with dementia compared to those without dementia. An anonymous, cross-sectional, convenience sample survey exploring caregiver burden was administered to 114 primary caregivers. A factor analysis of 10 items related to caregiver stress with polychoric correlations was conducted and factor scores were calculated to serve as an index of caregiver stress. Missing data were handled using multiple imputation. Linear regression was conducted using factor scores to examine the relationship between caregiver burden and being a dementia caregiver as well as the number of caregivers. 37 participants were dementia caregivers and 77 were non-dementia caregivers. Most participants were over the age of  \n60 (59.5%) . 37.2% of dementia caregivers responded that they had a stress level of “severe” or higher compared to 21.4% of non-dementia caregivers. 13.9% of dementia caregivers “often”or “always” had trouble paying their bills in the last year, compared to 5.2% of non-dementia caregivers. A linear regression concluded that dementia caregivers had significantly higher burden than those without (p = 0.040) . Receiving help from other caregivers significantly reduced caregiver burden (p = 0.016). Caregivers of patients who are living with dementia experience significantly greater stress, which might be mitigated through shared responsibilities. Addressing stressors of caregivers is critical not only for their wellbeing but can also impact the health outcomes of patients and potentially delay or prevent institutionalization.","cbCaimATArOBWQ9y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimATArOBWQ9y","pdf",1068057,"English","# Abstract\n## Study aims and design\n## Methods and analysis\n## Key findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this study?\",\"answer\":\"The study explores emotional, financial, and health-related stressors experienced by caregivers of patients living with dementia compared with caregivers without dementia.\"},{\"question\":\"How was caregiver stress measured and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"An anonymous cross-sectional survey assessed caregiver burden.
