Impact of Social Support on Resilience in Care Providers of Older Adults with Dementia

Dementia is one of the prevalent degenerative disorders in the world. Along with taking a toll on the person suffering from this disorder, the disease also adversely affects the caregivers of people with dementia (PWD). An important factor that determines the well-being of caregivers is their resilience. Resilience is defined as the capacity to take in any unforeseen circumstances or adversity and as caregivers, it is important to nurture this psychological capital.  This study aims to trace the role of social support in the resilience of caregivers of PWD. Our study found a positive correlation between social support and resilience.
