Caring for a family member with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia has been recognized as a source of stress that can negatively impact the health and well-being of the caregiver. Coping strategies for the family caregiver may help him or her diminish this impact. Growing attention has been focused on the relationships between religious coping, stress, and health outcomes among family caregivers. For this article, the literature was examined in an attempt to understand religion as a source of support and means of coping among individuals providing care to a family member with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.
