[Quality of sleep in caregiving relatives of people with dementia: investigation of the prevalence and possible predictors].

CONCLUSION: Caregiving of PwD affects subjective sleep quality as well as daytime sleepiness of caregiving relatives. Both dimensions of sleep quality were associated with several personal and caregiving related variables. Chronic poor sleep quality is a high-risk factor for psychological and physical health problems and should be considered in further research and development of interventions for caregiving relatives of PwD.
