Abstract
AIM: Which variables are predictors for the utilisation of caregiver skill training and what are the views of caregivers about its quality? METHOD: A written survey of 404 family caregivers of dementia patients was carried out. RESULTS: The estimation of helpfulness of skill training, lower level of education of the caregiver and higher age of the dementia patient are significant predictors. Caregivers most frequently expressed a wish for practical instruction on caregiving activities.
