The study goal was to determine the effect of the Reitman Centre CARERS program on key outcomes in family CGs of people with dementia. The Reitman Centre CARERS program is an innovative, group psychotherapeutic skills training intervention based on integrated problem-solving techniques (PST), simulation learning, and group psychotherapy designed to address each CGs&rsquo; unique situation.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Design:\u00a0<\/strong>A quasi-experimental, non-randomized, pre-post evaluation, multiple groups, multisite trial.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Setting:\u00a0<\/strong>Multisite group intervention provided in community agencies and hospital-based locations.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Participants:\u00a0<\/strong>Spousal or adult child family CGs (n = 264) living in the community and providing care to community-dwelling family members with dementia.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Measurement:\u00a0<\/strong>CGs were assessed for depression (CES-D); stress (PSS); burden (12-item SZBI); role overload, mastery, caregiving competence, and role captivity (Perlin scales), coping (CISS &#8211; Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations), CG reactions to CR&rsquo;s memory and behavioral symptoms (RMBPC). Care recipients (CRs) were assessed on basic and complex activities of daily living (Katz and Lawton). Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for statistical analysis of both the whole group and a more compromised subgroup of CGs.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Results:\u00a0<\/strong>For the group as a whole, CGs showed significant positive change on post-intervention outcome measures of stress, depression, burden, competence, role captivity, overload, mastery, coping, and reaction to memory issues. The intervention showed especially robust effect sizes (ES) in more compromised CGs. These positive outcomes emerged despite a significant measured deterioration in CRs&rsquo; function.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"sub-title\">Conclusion:\u00a0<\/strong>The CARERS program may be an effective multicomponent intervention to improve the well-being, functioning, and coping skills of dementia CGs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"studies-relation":[],"class_list":["post-4853","ccna_publication","type-ccna_publication","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
