The State Welfare organization of Iran is responsible for supervising nursing homes in Iran. In recent years, due to changes in the nuclear family structure and the increasing number of working women, there is a growing tendency to transfer older patients to nursing homes. Also the evidence in other countries to date suggests that the risk of institutionalization increases during the course of AD, particularly in relation to the level of cognitive impairment and abnormal behavior patterns. In view of the rapidly increasing need in Iranian society for institutional care for patients with AD along with the increase in the number of patients with AD, it is essential to increase the number of nursing homes and improve the quality of care they provide. Formal caregivers in nursing homes have an important role in providing suitable care and environment for AD patients. There are many challenges in their day to day work which can affect care especially in the case of people with dementia; such challenges have been described as emotional and physical draining with heavy physical and psychological workloads. Intense involvement with residents has been identified as a stressor which can lead to staff burnout. These Issues affect the caregivers' ability to do their job and resident care quality. However, our knowledge about the cultural experiences of caring is limited. Particularly in Iran, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies on the care of patients with AD. So we decided to explore the experiences of caregivers providing care for patients with AD in Iranian culture in the nursing home that can result in designing more effective caring programs and education based on our culture for caregivers to reduce their stress in caring these patients and result in suitable care for Alzheimer patients and improve the quality of their life
