RESEARCH BACKGROUND

Alzheimer’s patients require caregiving from their family members. However, it will
become burdensome. Teenagers may not be well-prepared to live with Alzheimer’s
patients. Sometimes, family caregivers may ignore patients’ needs or even stress out
on the patients. Teenagers and adolescents may suffer from stress and confusion while
they are taking care of Alzheimer’s patients.
