Descrição detalhada
This study is a two-arm randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of telephone-coached sleep bibliotherapy for informal caregivers of people with dementia.
A total of 120 eligible caregivers will be recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The intervention group will receive an 8-week telephone-coached sleep bibliotherapy program.
The control group will receive an educational booklet containing general health information and weekly check-in calls. Both groups will continue receiving usual community services.
Data will be collected at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention. The primary outcome is sleep quality measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Secondary outcomes include caregiving appraisal, dysfunctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep, emotional distress, neuropsyatric symptoms of care recipients, and quality of life.
The findings will provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of a low-cost and easily disseminated intervention for improving sleep and well-being among caregivers of people with dementia.
