Abstract

ABSTRACT Spiritual/religious coping can be a significant resource for individuals and families who are caring for a loved one with dementia. Little is known, however, about how different forms of spiritual/religious coping impact caregivers’ experiences of burden and benefit. This study examines the relationship between positive and negative spiritual/religious coping and caregiver burden and benefit among a sample of caregivers of people with dementia. Findings highlight the complex and multidimensional relationship that exists between spiritual/religious coping and caregivers’ perceptions of their experiences as burdensome or beneficial. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
