[Perseverance time of informal carers: a new concept in dementia care : Validation and exploration].
The aim of this study was to introduce the concept of perseverance time of informal carers of relatives with dementia living at home. ⋯ This investigation provides a first indication of the validity of the concept of perseverance time, but replication is necessary. In healthcare practice persevering time provides clues for early detection of overburdening and crises situations.
