Description
Family caregivers of people with dementia sometimes cross lines, threatening a nursing home in a hard moment, and an eight-week course called KINDER tries to prevent that emotional mistreatment before it starts. Kylie Meyer and co-authors test whether the course is workable and promising in a 2024 pre- and post-test study. Borrowing ideas from partner-violence prevention, KINDER teaches disease knowledge, communication skills, and coping strategies over video calls and weekly practice.
Forty-five caregivers enrolled and eighty-two percent stayed to the end; the main reason for leaving was feeling the program did not fit their situation. Attendance and homework completion ran high. After the course, potentially harmful care behaviors fell significantly. The authors read the results as feasibility proven and a first efficacy signal worth a larger trial.
