Abstract: Caregiving for a person with dementia is considered a situation of chronic stress, with consequences on caregivers’ physical and psychological health. The usual challenges of dementia care were intensified during the pandemic due to the risk of contagion, social isolation measures, and decrease in healthcare resources. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the stress both in the persons with dementia and their caregivers. This commentary reflects on the long-term effects of the pandemic on caregivers’ mental health, focusing on the study by Olavarría and colleagues and drawing future research lines for culturally diverse family caregivers.
