The impact of caregiver burden on sense of coherence in Chinese family caregivers of people with dementia: the mediating effect of family resilience.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe caregiver burden frequently experienced by family members tending to people with dementia significantly impacts their psychological well-being and family quality of life. Thus, the objective of this study is to examine the link between caregiver burden and sense of coherence (SOC) among Chinese caregivers of people with dementia, as well as to explore the mediating effect of family resilience on this relationship.
methodsThis cross-sectional research took place from November 2023 to June 2024 across two public tertiary hospitals and a community setting in Hangzhou Province, China. In total, 326 family caregivers who cared for members with dementia were recruited. Data were collected using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), the Family Resilience Rating Scale (FRAS), and the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC- 13). The relationships between caregiver burden, family resilience, and sense of coherence (SOC) were analyzed using Pearson correlation techniques. Furthermore, the mediating effect of family resilience on the relationship between caregiver burden and SOC was assessed utilizing Amos 27.0.
resultsIn this study, the total scores of caregiver burden, family resilience, and SOC were 45.64 ± 17.04, 175.30 ± 34.38, and 52.29 ± 15.91 among family caregivers of people with dementia. Caregiver burden, family resilience, and SOC of family caregivers were at a moderate to high level. Caregiver burden was negatively correlated with family resilience and SOC (p < 0.05). The mediating effect of family resilience on the relationship between caregiver burden and SOC was found to be significant (p < 0.05), accounting for 45.9%.
conclusionsIn this research, caregiver burden and family resilience emerged as critical factors influencing SOC. Additionally, the family resilience served as an important mediator in the connection between caregiver burden and SOC. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the family dynamics of people with dementia and adopt intervention programs that focus on reducing caregiver burden and improving family resilience to improve the SOC of family caregivers of people with dementia.
