Abstract

Background

Due to rapid increases in the number of Korean people with dementia, dementia has become a priority health issue in South Korea. Likewise, the well-being of family caregivers of people with dementia has also become an issue of concern. However, little is known about the resilience of Korean family caregivers because there is a lack of review studies from a Korean cultural perspective about the resilience of family caregivers of people with dementia.

Objectives

The purpose of this scoping review was to investigate quantitative studies related to resilience theories, measurement instruments, correlates and resilience interventions for family caregivers of people with dementia.

Method

This review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute based on Arksey and O'Malley. Nine databases were searched to retrieve evidence published in English or Korean between January 2000 and September 2022. Studies with a quantitative research design reporting the resilience of family caregivers of people with dementia based on a resilience theory framework were included.

Results

A total of 13 studies were included in this review. All studies used either a modified McCubbin and McCubbin's family stress, adjustment and adaptation model or Walsh's family resilience model. All resilience instruments were used without cross-cultural adaptation. Family adaptation, social support, life satisfaction, family (di)stress and caregiver burden were associated with resilience among family caregivers. A few family resilience-enhancing programmes showed a positive effect on caregiver resilience.

Conclusion

This review noted that all the resilience measures documented in this study need to test for cultural adaptation in a Korean context. Further research is required to develop and implement family-based, culturally tailored interventions to effectively enhance Korean resilience for family caregivers of people with dementia.

Implications for Practice

Gerontological nurses should include Korean family caregivers in their nursing care and assess whether family caregivers have depression or suicidal thoughts to promote better health outcomes for caregivers and their family members.

韩国痴呆症患者家庭照顾者的复原力：范围审查

背景由于韩国痴呆症患者人数的快速增长，痴呆症已成为韩国优先考虑的健康问题。同样，痴呆症患者的家庭照顾者的福祉也成为一个值得关注的问题。然而，由于缺乏从韩国文化角度对痴呆症患者家庭照护者复原力的回顾性研究，人们对韩国家庭照护者的复原力知之甚少。本综述旨在调查与痴呆症患者家庭照护者的抗逆力理论、测量工具、相关因素和抗逆力干预措施有关的定量研究。方法本综述是根据乔安娜-布里格斯研究所（Joanna Briggs Institute）以 Arksey 和 O'Malley 为基础进行的。我们搜索了九个数据库，以检索 2000 年 1 月至 2022 年 9 月期间用英语或韩语发表的证据。纳入的研究均采用定量研究设计，以复原力理论框架为基础，报告痴呆症患者家庭照顾者的复原力。结果本综述共纳入 13 项研究。所有研究都使用了修改过的麦卡宾和麦卡宾的家庭压力、调整和适应模型或沃尔什的家庭复原力模型。所有复原力工具均未经跨文化调整。家庭适应、社会支持、生活满意度、家庭（压力）和照顾者负担与家庭照顾者的复原力相关。一些增强家庭复原力的计划对照顾者的复原力产生了积极影响。结论本综述指出，本研究中记录的所有抗逆力测量方法都需要测试在韩国背景下的文化适应性。需要进一步开展研究，以开发和实施基于家庭、适合韩国文化的干预措施，从而有效提高痴呆症患者家庭照顾者的抗逆力。对实践的启示老年学护士应将韩国家庭照护者纳入其护理工作中，并评估家庭照护者是否有抑郁或自杀的想法，以促进照护者及其家庭成员获得更好的健康结果。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Older People Nursing welcomes scholarly papers on all aspects of older people nursing including research, practice, education, management, and policy. We publish manuscripts that further scholarly inquiry and improve practice through innovation and creativity in all aspects of gerontological nursing. We encourage submission of integrative and systematic reviews; original quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research; secondary analyses of existing data; historical works; theoretical and conceptual analyses; evidence based practice projects and other practice improvement reports; and policy analyses. All submissions must reflect consideration of IJOPN''s international readership and include explicit perspective on gerontological nursing. We particularly welcome submissions from regions of the world underrepresented in the gerontological nursing literature and from settings and situations not typically addressed in that literature. Editorial perspectives are published in each issue. Editorial perspectives are submitted by invitation only.
