AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the relationships between behavioural and 
      psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), cognitive impairment and burden of 
      care of patients with dementia. METHOD: A cross-sectional, non-randomised study 
      of 65 elderly patients with dementia and their caregivers was conducted over a 
      3-month period in January 2007 at the memory clinics of Universiti Kebangsaan 
      Malaysia Medical Centre and Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Patients' cognitive functions 
      were assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Caregivers were 
      interviewed to determine the severity of BPSD and caregiver burden (CB) using the 
      Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Questionnaire and Zarit Burden Interview (BI) 
      respectively. RESULTS: Cognitive impairment did not contribute significantly to 
      CB. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that high BPSD scores contributed 
      0.27 more in BI score, female patients contributed 0.37 less in BI score and 
      caregivers with higher educational level contribute 0.5 more in BI score. 
      CONCLUSION: Patients' BPSD and male gender, but not cognitive impairment, were 
      associated with CB. Even though CB was experienced more among caregivers with 
      better education, all caregivers should be screened to ensure their general 
      well-being.
