在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，人们对在家中照顾痴呆症患者的家庭经验知之甚少。本研究的目的是探讨COVID-19对当前PLWD家庭照顾者关注点的影响。研究参与者从母体研究健康模式临床试验（NCT03682185）中招募。通过半结构化电话访谈收集了34名护理人员的数据。超过70%的研究参与者报告担心将COVID-19传播给PLWD， 41%的人报告说，自COVID-19以来，他们为家庭中的其他人承担了额外的照顾职责，62%的人报告了一种或多种焦虑症状。与未报告焦虑症状的痴呆症护理人员相比，报告焦虑症状的痴呆症护理人员在其护理对象的功能独立性方面得分较低（p=0.036）。在这场前所未有的大流行期间，卫生保健专业人员应警惕痴呆症护理人员对其福祉所表达的关切。
Little is known about the family experience of caregiving for persons living with dementia (PLWD) at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of COVID-19 on concerns of current family caregivers of PLWD. Study participants were recruited from the parent study, Healthy Patterns Clinical Trial (NCT03682185). Data was collected from 34 caregivers via semi-structured telephone interviews. Over 70% of the study participants reported worrying about spreading COVID-19 to the PLWD, 41% reported they had taken on additional caregiving duties for others in their family since COVID-19, and 62% reported one or more anxiety symptoms. Dementia caregivers who reported anxiety symptoms reported lower scores on functional independence of their care recipients compared to dementia caregivers who did not report anxiety symptoms (p=0.036). Health care professionals should be alert to the concerns expressed by dementia caregivers for their well-being during this unprecedented pandemic.
