PAIN IN PERSONS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA AND ASSOCIATED CAREGIVER BURDEN

Abstract
Caregiver upset over behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in people living with dementia is related to caregiver burden. Pain can contribute to BPSD. Little is known about the relationships between pain, BPSD upset, and caregiver burden. We examined whether pain in people living with dementia was related to caregiver burden and if this was mediated by BPSD upset. We used data from the Advancing Caregiver Training (ACT) trial, with 272 people living with dementia and caregivers. Caregivers’ mean age was 66.3 (SD 12.57), 81.0 % were female. In people living with dementia, mean age was 82.4 (SD 8.4), 52.7% were male, and mean pain was 10.22 (SD 42.0). Pain was associated with caregiver burden (b = 1.42, β =-0.20, t =3.18, p < 0.01) and BPSD upset mediated this relationship (Sobel test: p<0.01). Improving pain in people living with dementia may help decrease BPSD upset and caregiver burden.
