| Background: The investigation of the predictive variables for utilisation of day care and the views of family caregivers of dementia patients about quality of day care are the goals of this work.
Methods: The cross-sectional study was carried out as an anonymous written survey of family caregivers of dementia patients in Germany. Participants were 404 family caregivers of dementia patients, of these 128 were
users of day care, 269 were non-users and 7 gave no details about utilisation. Qualitative and quantitative data were analysed using qualitative content analysis and binary logistic regression analysis.
Results: The assessment of how helpful day care is for the individual care situation and the age of the family caregiver are significant predictors for utilisation of day care. Caregivers most frequently cited a programme of
activities suited to the abilities of the dementia patients as quality criterion.
Conclusions: In order to reduce the number of those caregivers who think they don’t need day care compared with the number who really don’t need it, caregivers should be transparently informed of the relevant advantages and quality principles of using day care. According to caregivers’ wishes, the organisation of day care centres must include activities suited for dementia patients. |
