    • Psychology
    • Caregiver Support

    Background:

    • Home care for demented elderly individuals presents significant challenges for supporters.
    • Understanding supporter coping mechanisms is crucial for effective caregiving strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the coping behaviors of individuals supporting demented elderly relatives at home.
    • To investigate the relationship between supporter coping skills and tolerance of patient debility.
    • To develop and evaluate a skills training program for caregivers.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied ten supporters of demented elderly dependents, analyzing their coping skills.
    • Described coping in terms of programs, solutions, motivation, and stress tolerance.
    • Developed and implemented the Supporter Endurance Training program.

    Main Results:

    • Supporter's tolerance of a demented relative's debility is linked to the number/type of patient problems and the supporter's coping skill quality.
    • The Supporter Endurance Training program was designed to improve and expand supporter coping skills.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced supporter coping skills are vital for maintaining demented elderly individuals at home.
    • Supporter Endurance Training offers a potential strategy to support home-based care and reduce institutionalization.
