          Abstract

          Familial caregivers of demented patients suffer from high levels of burden of care, but the literature is sparse regarding the prevalence and predictors of burnout in this group. Burnout is composed of three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and reduced personal accomplishment (RPA). We aimed to investigate the associations between burnout dimensions and the caregivers' and patients' sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
