    Two focus group interviews with 15 relatives, investigated family caregivers’ perceptions of having a relative in a dementia care unit.

Furthermore, there is a need to look for a means of helping and supporting family caregivers so that they can develop a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in their care giving role.
