Abstract
This secondary data analysis sought to identify characteristics associated with mistreatment among chronic stroke survivors who transition to dementia. We examined baseline data from a multi-time series survey study ( n = 453; where caregivers of those with stroke n = 107, and those without stroke, n = 346) on caregiving experiences influencing dementia family caregivers’ abusive or neglectful behaviors. Inferential statistical analysis indicated that baseline mistreatment rates were similar across stroke and non-stroke subgroups, though this finding was not significant. Caregiver depression was significantly associated with mistreatment. Multi-morbidity, prescription medication use, and limited mobility were more common among stroke survivors. Stroke-related complications may impose a greater burden of care upon family caregivers whose care recipients also have dementia. Determining timepoints of heightened mistreatment risk for stroke survivors may significantly impact long-term trajectories of stroke management to screen and identify those who may benefit from added support and intervention.
这项二手数据分析旨在确定慢性中风幸存者向痴呆转变过程中与虐待相关的特征。我们研究了一项多时间序列调查研究的基线数据(n = 453;其中中风患者的照顾者 n = 107,未中风患者的照顾者 n = 346),这些数据涉及影响痴呆症家庭照顾者虐待或忽视行为的照顾经历。推断统计分析表明,中风亚组和非中风亚组的基线虐待率相似,但这一结果并不显著。照顾者抑郁与虐待行为有明显关联。多种疾病、处方药使用和行动不便在中风幸存者中更为常见。与中风相关的并发症可能会加重护理对象同时患有痴呆症的家庭护理者的护理负担。确定中风幸存者受虐待风险增加的时间点可能会对中风管理的长期轨迹产生重大影响,从而筛选和识别出那些可能受益于额外支持和干预的人。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
