Abstract
Caring for family members with dementia creates many challenges for family caregivers and has been correlated with burden but can also be a source of gratification and pleasure. However, few studies investigated these outcomes simultaneously. This study was aimed to determine burden and gratification of caregiving in family caregivers of individuals with dementia. A cross-sectional, correlational design was used. A convenience sample of 100 individual family caregivers was recruited from psychiatric hospitals in Shiraz. Data were collected by using sense of gratification and a burden scale.
