A Home-Based Training Program Improves Caregivers' Skills and Dementia Patients' Aggressive Behaviors: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Health-Related Quality of Life and Self-Efficacy of Managing Behavior Problems for Family Caregivers of Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Patients

“…This study was a secondary analysis of baseline data on a subsample of family caregiver-dementia patient dyads from a larger randomized clinical trial [15,16], which explored the effects of a home-based family caregiver training program.…”

A randomized controlled trial of a home‐based training programme to decrease depression in family caregivers of persons with dementia

“…Assuming an attrition rate of 20% at each time point after the first, we aimed to recruit 128 caregiver–patient dyads (Huang et al . ).…”

“…A randomized clinical trial (Huang et al . , Kuo et al . ) was used to explore the long‐term effects of a home‐based, individualized caregiver‐training programme, which was founded on the concept of partnership with FCGs (Harvath et al .…”

“…Our caregiver‐training programme had two 2‐ to 3‐hour sessions, each session 1 week apart, a 30‐minute telephone consultation 2 weeks after the second session and monthly 20–30‐minute telephone consultations thereafter (Huang et al . , Kuo et al . ).…”

Caregivers as Therapeutic Agents in Dementia Care

“…These approaches include but are not limited to the use of innovative technologies to impart education and support (Czaja, Loewenstein, Schulz, Nair, & Perdomo, 2013;Glueckauf et al, 2012), multidisciplinary teams and collaborative primary care models (Callahan et al, 2011), community-based care management models Samus et al, 2014), clinic models (Huang et al, 2013), and interventions that feature a dyadic focus (Whitlatch, Judge, Zarit, & Femia, 2006). This recent ongoing phase also reflects attempts to examine a broader swath of outcomes, translate proven interventions for delivery and sustainability in service contexts Gitlin, Jacobs, & Earland, 2010;Gitlin, Marx, Stanley, & Hodgson, 2015;Nichols, Martindale-Adams, Burns, Graney, & Zuber, 2011), and replicate findings from previously tested interventions with different populations (Gaugler, Reese, & Mittelman, 2013).…”
