Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study design of this research is cross-sectional. The participants are primary caregivers of dementia patients diagnosed by specialists, aged 18 and above, who spend 8 hours or more daily (including overnight caregivers) providing care. Data is collected using instruments including the Self-Compassion Scale, the PHQ-9 Scale (Patient Health Questionnaire,PHQ-9), and the Quality-of-Life Scale to investigate the relationship between self-compassion, depression, and quality of life among primary caregivers of dementia patients.

The study uses independent samples t-tests and one-way ANOVA( analysis of variance,ANOVA) to explore differences in self-compassion, depression, and quality of life among primary caregivers of dementia patients based on different background variables. Pearson correlation is used to analyze the relationships between these variables. Finally, linear regression is used to predict the performance of primary caregivers of dementia patients in self-compassion, depression, and quality of life.
