- Title
When Dysfunction Complicates Caring: Critiquing a Family Caregiving Model for Alzheimer's Dementia.
- Authors
Polk, DeniseM.
- Abstract
The challenges posed by the increased prevalence of Alzheimer's dementia (AD) demonstrate a need to understand this social issue better. A case study is used to critique Wilson's ( Applied Nursing Research, 2 (1), 40–44, 1989) model of family caregiving for a person with AD. Although the case fits the model in some ways, these data suggest that the model may ignore nontraditional family situations. Suggestions for future research involve modifying the model or creating multiple caregiver models.
