Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing educational needs for caring (ENC)
among family of elders with dementia (EWD). Methods The participants were 98 family members of EWD
diagnosed by medical test at the Dementia Telemedicine Control Center of Gangwon Province, Korea. Data were
collected through self-report questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA,
Duncan-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 14.0. Results The
average score for ENC was 3.24 and the factor which had the highest score was 'management of family problems'.
ENC had significant correlations with degree of symptoms in EWD's and with family care burden. Variables
significantly influencing ENC were degree of symptoms in EWD's, and family care burden, income and education
level. These variables accounted for 59.9% of the variance of ENC. Conclusion Findings of this study suggest
that nurses should consider degree of symptoms of EWD and care burden of family members when planning educational programs and/or conducting research.
