Abstract

We examined young adults’ interaction concerns and coping strategies concerning their interactions with their grandparents with dementia. Concerns included inability to maintain the relational connection, not knowing how to interact with the other, and lacking perspective-taking skills. Coping strategies included shielding self from attributions of interactional incompetence and maintaining connection.
