Description
A case study from 2023 looks at help for family caregivers of older patients with dementia in Shanghai, China. In China, few community services exist for such families, so doctors in clinics and hospitals often run teaching programs. Staff at the largest mental health center in Shanghai built one such program and tested its early effects.
Forty caregivers were asked what they lacked, and most said they knew too little about care and treatment. The team then set up weekly talks of ninety minutes, with up to six caregivers at a time. Topics ran from diagnosis and treatment to self care, giving families skills and support close to the clinic.
