Abstract
An adaptation of the stress and coping model applicable to Asian family carers of persons living with dementia is proposed based on quantitative and qualitative studies in this population. Key features of this adapted model include: (1) specifying person and environment factors for the particular context of Asian family carers of a person living with dementia; (2) highlighting the importance of perceived social support; (3) describing a broader influence of culture on several aspects of the appraisal and coping process; (4) differentiating between positive and negative emotion-focused coping strategies; and (5) emphasising quality of life as an outcome of coping.
