ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study examined the dyadic association of self and informal caregiver proxy-reported met needs in persons living with dementia on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL).METHODS:
A total of 237 persons with dementia and their caregivers were included from a previous observational study. HRQOL was assessed by the EuroQol-5D and the number of met needs by the Camberwell Assessment of Needs for the Elderly. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model framework was used to analyze the effect of an individual's self or proxy-reported met needs on their own HRQOL (actor effects), and an individual's self or proxy-reported met needs on the other dyad member's HRQOL (partner effects).RESULTS:
The number of self-reported met needs by persons living with dementia was negatively associated with their own HRQOL (actor effect b = -0.200, p < 0.001), and the HRQOL of informal caregivers (partner effect b = -0.114, p = 0.001). The number of proxy-reported met needs by informal caregivers was negatively associated with their own HRQOL (actor effect b = -0.105, p < 0.001) but not the person living with dementia's HRQOL (-0.025, p = 0.375).CONCLUSION:
Study findings suggest that both self-reported and informal caregiver proxy-reported met needs in persons living with dementia should be considered in research and practice because they have different implications for each dyad members' HRQOL.Palavras-chave
