Sources of stress among families caring for relatives with Alzheimer's disease.
We have described the different sources of stress and burden that are imposed by caring for a family member with AD. We have provided an approach to assessing each of these possible sources of stress and burden and have indicated how such assessments must take a family-based approach and consider the broader social roles and family dynamics that may color the way in which family members view and carry out their caregiving roles.
