Description
Christina Miyawaki, Angela McClellan, and Erin Bouldin test whether family caregivers can be trained online to run a life review program at home. The six-week program aims at older adults with early dementia and mild low mood. Caregivers learn to guide talks about life memories, a method known to lift mood. The 2024 study enrolled twenty caregiver-patient pairs.
Caregivers followed the protocol almost perfectly, scoring near the top of the fidelity scale. Patients' depressive symptoms fell by a clear margin after the program. Caregivers also reported more reward in their role, without added burden. Interviews backed the numbers. The authors call the low-cost, flexible format a workable way to support both members of the pair.
