- Abstract
This paper integrates Uncertainty Reduction Theory and Uncertainty of Illness to describe emotional fluctuation of care givers and to discuss disease information and stress experiences of dementia caring. Family experiences of dementia, written from family members of dementia patients, are taken from four books published between 2016-2020. After analyzing family experiences of caring dementia patients, this study finds a gap between current and useful disease/caring information. Results of this study indicate an insufficient information for dementia patients and caregivers to care with positive attitudes. Future disease information should not only introduce causes and symptoms of diseases, but also provide treatment and caring options and relevant supporting information.
