Background: Informal caregivers of persons with dementia often experience elevated levels of caregiving burden. However, existing studies tend to use a variable-centered approach to explore it. This study aims to understand the caregiving burden of informal caregivers of persons with dementia in Singapore through a combination of variable-centered and person-centered analytical approaches, and explore the correlates of identified factors and latent classes of caregiving burden.

Extract: Besides their feeling of helplessness and uncertainty in making treatment decisions on behalf of PWD, family caregivers tended to rely on medical practitioners to make difficult EOL care decisions.
