ObjectiveDementia patients have complex needs that may become a burden to those who caregive them. They are treated at home by family members due to financial limitations and lack of support from health services. Therefore, the measurement of self-resilience in caregivers needs special attention from professionals. MethodThis study used a systematic review method from 4 databases consisting of the CINAHL, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar between 2015 till 2020; 17 articles were considered to meet the inclusion criteria. ResultsCaregiver of elderly with dementia has a tendency to experience burdens that affect the quality of the care performed. The level of resilience that caregivers have can help reduce the level of burden they experience and improve their quality of life. ConclusionsSocial support and formal support by health workers for caregivers have a significantly positive effect in increasing the level of resilience of caregivers.
