Abstract
Purpose: Evaluation of the level of the family readiness to look after a person suffering from the Alzheimer's disease.
Material and methods: In the research an authorized questionnaire was used, which comprised knowledge concerning the disease, coping with the situation, looking after a patient and an open test.
Results: It was shown that the level of knowledge about Alzheimer's disease corresponds to the level of education (p < 0.05). Most families 67% look after the patient in their own houses, although they don't belong to any support group. Adapting to a new situation is difficult for people, although, most of them devote most of their energy to the patient with the support of the other members of the family. Family support and the level of knowledge aren't related with the patient acceptance (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: Family support and the level of knowledge aren't related with the patient acceptance. There is a relation, however, between the education and the level of knowledge about the Alzheimer's disease.
