Burden of care and quality of life among informal caregivers to Alzheimer patients in Egypt.

Total burden among informal caregivers of Alzheimer patients was relatively high (64.71 ± 26.86). Moreover, less than one-tenth (8%) of the informal caregivers for Alzheimer's patients had a good quality of life, whereas more than half (62%) of them had an average quality of life. In the Egyptian context, ongoing health education initiatives for those who care for Alzheimer patients are essential, and additional research employing large study sample sizes in varied contexts is strongly advised.
