Aim: To provide an overview of the various influencing factors related to the positive aspects of caring for dementia patients by family caregivers.

Design: A systematic mixed studies review.

Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guided this protocol as reported. Peer-reviewed studies published in English from 1997 to the present will be searched via information sources, gray literature, and the following databases: Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Eligible trials will also be retrieved from ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. This will be a mixed studies review. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool will be used for the mixed-method studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for case-control and cohort studies and the JBI quality scale for cross-sectional and interventional (i.e., randomized or quasi-experimental) studies will be consulted. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research will be used for the qualitative studies. All the data will be extricated with JBI data extraction tools. The convergent synthesis method will be used in the review.

Discussion: This systematic review will synthesize and analyze the factors that influence the positive aspects of caring for dementia patients by family caregivers.

Conclusion: The findings will help decision-makers to adopt more appropriate and effective interventions for caregivers of people with dementia.

Patient or public contributions: This review protocol will ascertain the factors affecting the mediation of and path to improved caregiving, explore the factors' action mechanisms, and examine the controlling factors to design a more targeted intervention program to improve caregiving, thus improving dementia patients' outcomes and care. Contributions of the findings will include evidence of strategies that address ongoing dementia caregiving issues and the identification of areas for future research.

目标： 提供一个关于家庭照顾者在照护痴呆症患者方面积极因素的各种影响因素的概述。

设计： 一项系统混合研究综述。

方法： 该协议遵循了《系统评价优选报告项目》（PRISMA）的指导原则。通过信息来源、灰色文献以及以下数据库进行1997年至现在的同行评议文章英文出版物的搜索：Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL 和 Cochrane 中央对照试验注册库。合格的试验也将从ClinicalTrials.gov和世界卫生组织国际临床试验注册平台检索。这将是一项混合研究综述。《混合方法评价工具》（Mixed Method Appraisal Tool）用于混合方法研究，《纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表》（Newcastle-Ottawa Scale）用于病例对照和队列研究，而横断面和干预性（即随机或准实验）研究将采用JBI质量评分。《乔安娜·布里格斯研究所定性研究报告关键评价检查表》（Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research）用于定性研究。所有数据将使用JBI数据提取工具进行提取。综述中将使用会聚合成方法。

讨论： 这项系统回顾将综合和分析影响家庭照顾者照护痴呆症患者积极因素的各种因素。

结论： 研究结果将帮助决策者采用更适当和有效的干预措施来支持痴呆症患者的照顾者。

公众贡献： 这项回顾性协议确定影响改善照护的机制及路径的因素，探索这些因素的作用机理，并检查控制因素以设计一个更有针对性的干预计划来改进照护，从而提高痴呆症患者的结果和护理质量。研究结果将包括解决持续存在的痴呆症照护问题的战略证据以及未来研究领域。
