The primary lessons learned were: (a) early identification of caring dyads prior to crisis must be improved; (b) in vivo observation is essential to individualized interventions targeting behavioral etiologies and developing caregiver skills; (c) intervention delivery depends on the nurse interventionist's skills and a flexible, trusting researcher-dyad relationship; (d) complex caregiver situations affect treatment receipt and enactment; and (e) intervention enactment requires coaching, practice, and support over time. These findings help to explain issues impacting intervention implementation to a vulnerable population. Recommendations for intervention research design to maximize internal and external validity in real-life care contexts can inform future outcome studies, aid in the search for improved care, and lead to supportive public policy for families living with AD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
