摘要：
This study compared information needs of caregivers of persons with dementia with caregivers of those who received rehabilitation treatment. Caregivers were provided a 48-item survey and asked to choose their top ten information needs. Dementia caregivers' (n = 33) top needs were dealing with forgetfulness/confusion (91%) and repeating questions/actions (61%) in care recipients. Rehabilitation caregivers' (n = 40) top needs were handling care recipients' mobility problems (75%) and dealing with their own stress (65%). Dementia caregivers focused on care recipients' needs related to behavioral symptoms, whereas rehabilitation caregivers focused on needs related to physical care of care recipients and their own needs.
