This multicenter, randomized trial will be conducted with 80 dementia caregivers, who will be randomized into two groups. One group consists of 40 participants who will receive behavioral intervention and 40 who will not receive intervention (waitlist control). The waitlist control group will be also provided the same intervention after the intervention group has completed the intervention. The behavioral intervention consists of 90-min-session a day with an interval of two weeks for 2 months.

Home-based Longitudinal Investigation of the Multidisciplinary Team Integrated Care

Health Care UtilizationCaregiver Burnout

Some research found the effectiveness of implementation of home health care on patients' physical function, quality of life (QoL) and decreased the risk of hospitalization and medical costs. However, little was known about the longitudinal change of comprehensive assessments of physical and mental health, QoL, well-being, and medical resource utilization of patients receiving home health care and their caregivers. Furthermore, the evaluation of advance care planning, palliative care need, and the quality of dying and death were also insufficient among the aforementioned population. Therefore, this cohort study aims to investigate the longitudinal change of health-related outcomes and utilization of resource utilization, and explore their trajectories in two years for patients who receive home health care and their caregivers in Taiwan.

Musculoskeletal Problems in Caregivers of Stroke Survivors

StrokeCaregiver Burnout

Stroke is one of the major causes of neurological disability in adults globally. Fifteen million patients suffer from stroke annually throughout the world, from which 5 million had to continue to live with a major disability. Especially in developing and non-developing countries, it contributes significantly to the mortality and morbidity. The improvements in medical care of acute stroke, especially in a specialized stroke unit setting, reduced overall mortality of the disease. However, the general prognosis of stroke survivors did not improve accordingly, so that many survivors have to deal with different forms of disability. Following a stroke, patients usually suffer from variable degrees of disability. They require acute treatment at an inpatient setting and extensive assistance throughout their recovery at home. Most stroke survivors depend on informal caregivers, who usually is a family member (eg, spouse) providing unpaid care for the patient.Caregivers are usually unprepared and unfit for such a support after discharge. And as a result, they may experience a decline in their physical and mental health status, social life and general well-being The current study sought to examine the musculoskeletal problems of the informal caregivers in relation with the physical condition and the degree of disability of the patient they are caring. To our knowledge this study can be considered as the first of its kind by evaluating the symptoms of the caregiver from their viewpoint and relates the level of their symptoms to the level of incapacity of the stroke patient.

StrokeDisability Physical2 more

This proposal seeks to improve the investigators' post-stroke TOC process through developing an innovative, patient informed and guided solution aimed at addressing the investigators' deep south African American population within the UAB system. The investigators will engage participants in both urban and rural Alabama through informational interviews and work to find common themes to address so that future interventions are useful to their unique needs and desires. This goes beyond simply identifying barriers and endeavors to discovering solutions.
