The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of caring for Alzheimer's disease clients on paid Filipino caregivers' stress level, psychological well-being, and quality of life in order to make recommendation regarding ways to design and develop strategies on how to assist Filipino caregivers cope with the stress of caregiving. Forty five participants were recruited from three nursing home and assisted living facilities in the Chicago area, of which 24 were caregivers of AD care recipients and the remaining 21 were caregivers of older adults with a physical disability (PD) (control group). Participants completed a survey which included quantitative measures and qualitative open-ended interview questions designed to allow the caregiver to share some of the challenges and difficulties they experienced in providing care to a person with Alzheimer's disease. The quantitative parts of this research used Kingston Caregiver Stress Scale (KCSS), Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB), and SF-12 quality of life (QOL) scale to assess the general mental health status of the caregivers. The quantitative results revealed that there were significant differences of stress levels between AD and PD caregivers but no significant differences were found on PWB and QOL scores. The same is true when age group comparisons were tested; two of the three outcomes showed significant mean differences between stress of caregiver and PWB score. Analysis of the qualitative data found that the caregivers wanted more social support, sufficient information about Alzheimer's disease, days off, and additional seminars/workshops to combat the negative impact of dementia caregiving.
