The Effect of Caregiver Burden on Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours of People Caring for Patients With Alzheimer's Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to determine the effects of caregiver burden on the healthy lifestyle behaviours of people caring for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
methodsThe Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviour Scale-II (HLBS-II) were administered to caregivers of Alzheimer's disease patients who were admitted to the Neurology Department Dementia Outpatient Clinic of a university hospital in Ankara (n = 84). Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis were used in the study.
resultsA moderate, negative and statistically significant correlation was found between CBI and HLBS-II (r = -0.40; p < 0.001). The effect of CBI on HLBS-II was significant even in the presence of control variables (b = -0.29; p < 0.05). The increase in social burden (b = -0.92; p < 0.05) and developmental burden (b = -0.65; p = 0.053) of the CBI dimensions caused a decrease in healthy lifestyle behaviours.
conclusionsEffective home care for Alzheimer's patients requires caregivers to maintain their own good health. This study demonstrates that increased caregiver burden, particularly in social and developmental domains, negatively impacts their healthy lifestyle behaviours. Policies should focus on reducing this burden to enhance caregiver well-being and ensure sustainable home care.
