Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Change in subjective well-being (CarerQol-VAS) — Baseline, 2 months, and 4 months
    Subjective well-being will be measured using the CarerQol-VAS, a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater well-being
  • Change in care-related quality of life (CarerQol-7D) — Baseline, 2 months, and 4 months
    Care-related quality of life will be measured using the Carer-related Quality of Life instrument-7 Dimensions (CarerQol-7D), which assesses caregiving burden across seven dimensions. Each dimension is rated on a 3-level scale (no, some, or a lot of problems), with higher scores indicating better care-related quality of life.
