| description | This study contrasted the perceptions about support groups of 96 family caregivers who attend
Alzheimer's Association family support groups with those of 40 caregivers who do not attend
these groups. Surveys were completed by 78 family caregivers attending 9 separate Alzheimer's
disease support groups and by 58 telephone callers to an Alzheimer's Association Helpline (18
attendees and 40 nonattendees). Those who attend these open-ended support groups are almost
uniformly positive about their experiences. Compared with those who do not attend support
groups, attendees have fewer people in their households, say that the time and location of the
support groups are convenient, are more clear about the purpose of support groups, hadsomeone
advise them to attend, perceive that groups yield emotional support not received elsewhere, and
believe that groups allow them to show concern for others with similar problems. Responses to
information/education and convenience categories discriminated attendees from nonattendees. |
