Thomann ; A. Rousseau ; S. Valette ; C. Martin Hynyadi ; T. Vogel ; B. Michel Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : p. 107-112 Note générale : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.npg.2021.08.007 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Alpha A:Aidant ; D:Démence ; F:Fardeau de l'aidant ; P:Personne âgée ; P:Psychotrope Résumé : Objective To evaluate the use of psychotropic medication by family caregivers of elderly patients with and without dementia. Methodology This prospective observational study was conducted in the geriatric department of the University Hospital of Strasbourg over a period of six months. Two groups were formed: one comprising elderly patients without dementia and the other elderly patients with dementia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 caregivers of patients with dementia. Results One hundred and eighty-four “elderly patient-informal caregiver” dyads were included. Forty-three caregivers (24.3%) reported using psychotropic medication. Consumption was significantly higher among caregivers of patients with dementia (30.7% vs. 18.2%; P <0.05), especially anxiolytics (21.6% vs. 10.2%; P <0.025). The use of psychotropic drugs was not correlated with the family relationship (child or spouse) (P =0.49), the degree of severity of the dementia (P =0.90), the length of time the dementia had been present (P =0.90), or the additional number of non-relative caregivers (P =0.50). However, women were more likely to use psychotropic medication than men (P <0.05). Conclusion Given the increase in the number of people with dementia being cared for at home, society needs to implement specific interventions to prevent the burden that informal caregivers may feel, which, in our study, translates into increased consumption of psychotropic medication.
