personal factors, rather than factors related to the older person's impairment or the caregiving context, may be the central feature in explaining the emotional impact of caring. The emotional state of caregivers of demented and non-demented older persons may be improved with appropriate treatments and adequate services focused on caregiver appraisals, coping strategies, and social support.
