(orcid)0000-0002-6184-3920 Relation among Caregivers’ Burden, Abuse and Behavioural Disorder in People with Dementia 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Dementia produces a loss of independence to carry out the activities of daily life. The great demand for care that these people need usually falls on the family through informal care. This study aims to analyse the burden showed by the informal caregiver of a person with dementia. In addition, we analyse whether this burden present in informal caregivers could be related to abusive behaviour. We also study the relationship between the stage of the disease, the appearance of behavioural disorders and the level of burden in the caregiver using the Scales of Zarit, CASE and FAST. The data showed that 45.50 per cent of caregivers have light burden or burden. After the research, it was identified that the presence of behavioural disorders in patients with dementia showed a correlation with the increase in both the main caregiver burden and abuse. An increase in the level of burden is followed by an increase in the level of abuse (r = 0.844; p = 0.000). Furthermore, we analysed several conditions that could have a correlation with this burden and abuse. It was found that burden in the caregiver could be linked with the presence of behavioural disorders, like aggression (r = 0.577; p = 0.008) and irritability (r = 0.600; p = 0.005) at the moderate stage of the disease. On the other hand, there is a positive correlation between the probability that people with dementia suffer abuse in the moderate stage of the disease and the presence of aggression (r = 0.732; p = 0.000), lack of inhibition (r = 0.571; p = 0.009) and irritability (r = 0.827; p = 0.000). Taking this data into account, burden and abuse seem to be linked to the presence of behavioural disorders in patients with dementia in the moderate stage. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/Cátedra United States Foreign Trade Institute of Inteligencia Avanzada info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.614 2021 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 45 / 183 = 0.246 2021 Q1 T1 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 71 / 210 = 0.338 2021 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 100 / 279 = 0.358 2021 Q2 T2 0.814 2021 Pollution 2021 Q1 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2021 Q1 4.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Val, S.
