Question:
Refer to the data of Exercise 10.3.2 reported by Son et al. (A-6), who studied family caregiving in Korea of older adults with dementia. The outcome variable, caregiver burden (BURDEN), was measured by the Korean Burden Inventory (KBI) where scores ranged from 28 to 140 with higher scores indicating higher burden. Perform a stepwise regression analysis on the following independent variables reported by the researchers:
CGAGE: caregiver age (years)
CGINCOME: caregiver income (Won-Korean currency)
CGDUR: caregiver-duration of caregiving (month)
ADL: total activities of daily living where low scores indicate the elderly perform activities independently.
MEM: memory and behavioral problems with higher scores indicating more problems.
COG: cognitive impairment with lower scores indicating a greater degree of cognitive impairment.
SOCIALSU: total score of perceived social support (25–175, higher values indicating more support). The reported data are as follows.
