Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Psychological distress is prevalent among family caregivers of individuals with neurocognitive disorders (NCDs).
  • Suicidal ideation is a severe outcome requiring investigation in this vulnerable population.
  • The potential moderating role of positive caregiving experiences needs exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate suicidal ideation in family caregivers of NCD patients.
  • To examine the moderating effect of positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) on psychological distress and suicidal ideation.
  • To understand the interplay between carer burden, psychological distress, and suicidal ideation.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 445 older adults (322 with NCDs) and their caregivers from the Hong Kong Mental Morbidity Survey.
  • Screened caregiver suicidal ideation using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).
  • Assessed positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) and carer burden; analyzed mediation and moderation effects.

Main Results:

  • 9% of dementia caregivers reported suicidal ideation in the past two weeks.
  • Psychological distress mediated the relationship between carer burden and suicidal ideation (80.5%).
  • Higher PAC levels were linked to lower suicidal ideation in caregivers with moderate-to-high burden (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Suicidal ideation in caregivers is associated with caring burden and psychological distress.
  • Positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) can buffer the negative impact of burden and distress.
  • Interventions should focus on enhancing PAC, particularly for caregivers with high psychological distress.
