This type of grief is commonly referred to as anticipatory grief, which can contribute to increased psychological distress (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms) and potentially affect caregivers\u2019 long-term mental health. This scoping review aimed to synthesize evidence on risk and resilience factors associated with anticipatory grief, its relationship with caregiver mental health, and psychosocial interventions targeting anticipatory grief among caregivers of people living with ADRD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951526102478_sec2b\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Guided by the Stress Process Model and the Grief-Stress Model, a literature search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO in May 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951526102478_sec3c\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty articles met the inclusion criteria. Caregiver characteristics, such as being a spousal caregiver and greater caregiving involvement, were associated with higher levels of anticipatory grief. Caregiving-related stressors and relationship changes across the ADRD trajectory were consistently linked to anticipatory grief across studies, while psychosocial resources, such as adaptive coping and social support, were generally associated with lower levels of anticipatory grief. Anticipatory grief was consistently associated with depressive symptoms. Intervention studies were limited, but those focused on acceptance and preparedness showed potential for reducing anticipatory grief.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951526102478_sec4d\">\n                    <jats:title>Significance of results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anticipatory grief represents an important dimension of caregiver mental health that reflects ongoing loss. Conceptualizing anticipatory grief within caregiving stress frameworks highlights how vulnerability to distress may emerge from the interplay between caregiving stressors, relationship changes, and psychosocial resources. This conceptual framing may inform future research and palliative care interventions to support the well-being of family caregivers across the dementia trajectory.<\/jats:p>\n
