Detaljeret beskrivelse
The goal of Webnovela program is to evaluate and develop materials for helping caregivers to cope with caregiving, alleviate related distress, and improve their quality of life.
The investigators are evaluating different materials, which may provide caregiving strategies, practical tips and help to enhance caregivers' skills to deal with demanding tasks of caregiving, alleviate related stress, and improve quality of life.
Research Program Steps:
- Caregivers will be asked some simple questions about themselves and their family members to see if they are eligible for the project (fill out Enrollment Form and Informed Consent).
- A Program survey will be sent, which can be completed online, or returned in a pre-mailed envelope.
- Participants will receive links to online resources, related materials and instructions. The investigators ask participants to access the online resources, read provided brochures and guides, and follow the instructions. Materials are expected to help participants in their caregiver role.
- After completing the program, the second and final survey should be filled out online or returned by pre-mailed envelope.

Caregiver Burden on the Revised Memory and Behavior Problems Checklist
Tidsramme: 3 months
|
This scale measures the type/number of dementia patients disturbing behaviors, and how much they bother caregivers with 24 items describing possible troublesome behaviors that the patient might evidence in the past month.
Caregivers are first asked whether the dementia patient had displayed any of these in the time period, and secondly to rate on a 5-point scale (0=not at all; 4= extremely) how much this "bothered or upset" them.
A "conditional bother" score is calculated which is the "upset" or "bother" ratings for only the problematic behavior that occurred.
The scale refers to the caregiver.
Minimum score (best value)=0.
Maximum score (worst value)=4.
Higher values represent a worse outcome.
