ABSTRACT

Introduction: there has been considerable progress in understanding the burden of caring for a person with dementia. However little research has been done on how the institutionalization of the loved one affects caregivers. Nor on the possible types of interventions that can relieve the stress experienced before, during and after leaving a loved one in a nursing home to be care for by others.
Objective: to identify support needs of a family caregiver in the process of institutionalizing a loved one who has dementia.
Methodology: Based on a search of the scientific literature in databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Ovid Nursing , CINAHL and Cochrane Central between 2003 and 2013 in English and Spanish , 1183 articles were review of which 24 met inclusion criteria of being a study in about institutionalization in people with dementia related to the experience of family caregivers.
Results: the results were grouped into 4 broad categories: factors that activate the process of institutionalization and strategies or interventions to delay the time of institutionalization; Conflict and decision making to institutionalize their loved one with dementia; institutionalization process of a loved one with dementia; and events are following the institutionalization of a loved one with dementia.
Conclusions: caring for a person with dementia is an extremely complex task with multiple consequences for the patient and his/her family caregiver. The transversal analysis of different studies allow a little better understanding this phenomenon and thus provide an essential step in the health care qualification of professionals so that they can help to avoid additional and unnecessary burden in this experience.
