- Description
- Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Dementia Management Strategies Scale have good reliability and validity among Chinese family caregivers for people with dementia in Hong Kong. Levels of adaptive and non-adaptive management strategies used by family caregivers are moderate. Females, spouses, those who perceived better current health than 1 year ago, and those who received two to three community support services indicated higher levels of management strategies used. The levels of management strategies used by family caregivers correlate with their distress and self-efficacy and dementia relatives’ symptom severity.
