Filter by:The goal of this study is to learn if a new online training program is helpful to dementia family caregivers. This online program is fully computerized and supports 24/7 access from any location. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the training program improves the participants' well-being and sense of positive meaning? - If the program is found to be helpful, does it work through enhancing caregivers' self-belief or getting them to practice positive interpretation of caregiving challenges? To answer these questions, researchers will compare the online program to a waitlist control. Participants will: - Use the intervention (requiring internet access) in a self-guided manner - Respond to brief questionnaires at the beginning, and 1, 2 and 3 months afterwards

Participants will complete 1 set of questionnaires about 2 weeks before beginning their Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Caregivers/MCP-C or standard Supportive Psychotherapy for Caregivers/SP-C sessions. These questionnaires will ask about participants' sense of meaning and purpose in life, spiritual well-being, depression and/or anxiety, and social support. Participants will then be assigned to receive either MCP-C or SP-C for 7 sessions. Participants will complete additional sets of questionnaires about 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after their last session of MCP-C or SP-C. It will take between 35 and 50 minutes to complete each set of questionnaires. After participants complete the MCP-C or SP-C sessions and all 4 sets of questionnaires, their participation in this study will end. If participants decide not to complete all 7 sessions, they may still choose to complete the questionnaires. Participants may remain in the study and continue to receive all 7 sessions of MCP-C or SP-C even if their loved one passes away.
This study aims to pilot test a culturally tailored behavioral intervention called "WECARE" to enhance caregiving mastery and improve psychosocial wellbeing of Chinese American family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's Disease and related dementia.

Objective: To explore the effect of health promotion programs on parental stress, quality of life, and health-promoting lifestyles for primary caregivers who had children with ADHD. Children's ADHD symptoms were also examined. Methods: A randomized control trial was conducted between July 2017 and April 2018. Primary caregivers aged 20 to 65 years who had ADHD children aged 7 to 12 years were recruited from a psychiatric outpatient department. Sixty caregivers were randomized to the health promotion group intervention (n=30) and the control groups (n=30). The control group received usual care. Study instruments included the Swanson, Nolan, Pelham, Version IV (SNAP-IV), Parenting Stress Scale (Short form), Taiwan's Concise World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), and Health-Promotion Lifestyle Profile. Both groups were evaluated before and immediately after the intervention at 1, 3, and 6 months. GEE was applied for statistical analysis. Results: 60 participants were randomized to the health promotion intervention (n=30) or the control group (n=30). To explore the effect of health promotion programs on parental stress, quality of life, and health-promoting lifestyles for primary caregivers who are caring for children with ADHD. Conclusion: We hope that the Health promotion program could demonstrate the effect in reducing parental stress, improving the quality of life, promoting healthy lifestyles for primary caregivers, and reducing the symptoms of children with ADHD. Proper intervention programs should be incorporated in clinical practice settings in order to facilitate mental health well-being for caregivers of ADHD children.
The TBI-AD/ADRD Caregiver Support Intervention (TACSI) incorporates psychosocial and psychoeducational approaches with the objective of: a) identifying stressors associated with caregiving for family members who have the dual diagnosis of traumatic brain injury and dementia; and b) supporting caregivers in developing more effective coping and communication strategies as well as enhanced caregiving self-efficacy.
Based on preliminary work, whereby investigators examined pain management challenges and needs of caregivers of hospice patients with dementia, this team designed a cognitive behavioral intervention informed by the relational model of stress, entitled ENCODE (Empowering Caregivers of Patients with Dementia) to assist caregivers in effectively identifying and communicating their pain management challenges and needs. The investigators propose a 5-year randomized clinical trial in which caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) will be randomly assigned to a group receiving standard hospice care with the addition of "friendly video-calls" providing social support (attention control group) or a group receiving standard hospice care with the addition of the ENCODE intervention (intervention group).
