Description
Development and replication of a typology of informal dementia care dyads to guide the design of tailored support for informal caregivers – An exploratory study based on cross-sectional analyses of dementia care network users in Germany and the Netherlands
The overall aim is the identification of typical dyadic relationship constellations in home-based dementia care settings. A further goal is the analysis of similarities and differences regarding relevant health-care related psychosocial outcomes, with a special focus on informal caregivers as individuals in dementia care dyads. Therefore, three single papers were published, that 1. synthesises both effectiveness and subgroup-orientation of psychosocial interventions promoting mental health of informal caregivers, 2. presents a subgroup-typology and related health care outcomes of informal caregivers within dementia care dyads, using a latent class analysis (LCA) based on data from the German DemNet-D study, and 3. tests and controls this subgroup-typology within a LCA replication study, using data from the Dutch COMPAS study. Furthermore, the results are reflected against the underlying concepts of psychosocial health, dyadic perspective and subgroup-orientation.
