Increased caregiver burden impacts adversely not only on caregivers, in terms of physical and psychological morbidity, but also on people with dementia, since it is associated with an increased likelihood of patient institutionalisation. Here, the authors examine effectiveness and ease of administration of the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) tool in day‐to‐day clinical practice for identifying caregiver burden.
