To explore the relationship between social support and family resilience in families of dementia patients, as well as its underlying mechanisms.
A questionnaire survey was conducted among 508 primary family caregivers of elderly dementia patients in Nanjing. Descriptive statistical analysis, regression analysis, and moderated mediation analysis were performed.
Social support had a significant positive impact on family resilience (β=0.351, P<0.01); Family cohesion partially mediated the relationship between social support and family resilience, with a mediation effect value of 0.527 (95% CI: 0.399-0.666), accounting for 60.04% of the total effect. The second half of the mediation pathway, through which social support influences family resilience via family cohesion, was moderated by psychological resilience (β=-0.017, P<0.01).
This study elucidates the relationship between social support and family resilience in families of dementia patients and its underlying mechanisms, providing a theoretical foundation and practical implications for enhancing family resilience in dementia care.
