%X in the last few years, research into non professional caregiving for dementia patients has increased, and has shown that such caregiving carries both negative and positive effects. nevertheless, in spite of the growing influence of positive psychology, studies focused on resilience, hardiness and personal growth in caregivers remain fairly scarce. the present article aimed to systematically review the existing studies on this topic, analyzing nine studies that assess resilience, hardiness or growth in dementia patients' family caregivers. the features and results of these studies will be discussed, considering their implications for the study of, and attention to, caregivers.
