Web-Based Psychoeducation and Symptom-Monitoring Program

Web-Based Psychoeducation and Symptom-Monitoring Program: Participants assigned to the intervention group receive a 6-week web-based psychoeducation and BPSD symptom-monitoring program in addition to usual care. The program provides web-based educational content on dementia care, recognition of BPSD and possible triggers, BPSD management and caregiving strategies, communication and home care, caregiver self-care, and community support resources. Participants may also use the online platform to record BPSD symptoms, circumstances, possible triggers, management strategies, and outcomes. The intervention is designed to improve caregiver self-efficacy in managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia.

Study summary

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), such as agitation, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and apathy, are common among people with dementia and often increase the burden on family caregivers. Many caregivers have limited knowledge and confidence in managing these symptoms.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week web-based psychoeducation and BPSD symptom-monitoring program in improving caregivers' self-efficacy in managing BPSD. Community-dwelling family caregivers of people with dementia will be recruited through healthcare, care, or community service settings and related activities in Taiwan.

Participants will be assigned sequentially to either an intervention group receiving web-based psychoeducation, BPSD symptom monitoring, and usual care, or a control group receiving usual care alone. The primary outcome is caregiver self-efficacy. Secondary outcomes include BPSD severity and caregiver burden.
