Face-to-face versus telephone-based cognitive-behavioral therapy for family caregivers of people with dementia.

Objective: The objective was to directly compare the effects and acceptability of telephone-based (TEL-CBT) with face-to-face cognitive-behavioral therapy (F2F-CBT) for family caregivers of people with dementia (PwD).

Method: Caregivers for whom F2F participation was possible were allocated to F2F-CBT (n = 49). The other participants were randomized to TEL-CBT (n = 139) or CG (n = 134).

[Burden experienced by caregiving relatives during the corona pandemic].

Background: Family caregivers are faced with a variety of challenges and burdens. Recent online studies showed that these burdens have increased even more during the corona pandemic. Here we conducted a low-threshold written survey to assess psychological distress in highly burdened family caregivers during the corona pandemic in Germany.

Clients' and therapists' experiences of five general change mechanisms during an Internet-based cognitive behavioral intervention for family caregivers.

Objectives: Despite its efficacy, little is known about what makes Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) effective. We, therefore, analyze participants' and therapists' experiences of Grawe's five general change mechanisms (alliance, resource activation, clarification, problem actuation, mastery) during an iCBT intervention for family dementia caregivers, and how their experiences were related to treatment outcomes.

Method: Participants (N = 30) exchanged eight weekly messages with a therapist via an Internet platform.

Long-term effects of telephone-based cognitive-behavioral intervention for family caregivers of people with dementia: Findings at 3-year follow-up.

Introduction: Long-term outcomes are of particular importance in evaluating interventions for family caregivers of people with dementia (PwD). So far, evidence for long-term effects (>6 months postintervention) is limited to four interventions.

Objective: We examined the long-term effects of Tele.

Relieving distressed caregivers (ReDiCare study): study protocol of a randomized pragmatic trial.

Background: Providing care for someone with a disease or chronic condition can have a negative psychological, physical, social, and economic impact upon informal caregivers. Despite the socio-economic relevance and more than three decades of caregiver intervention research only very few translational efforts of successful interventions are reported. Still less of these interventions have been implemented into routine services.

Acceptance and treatment effects of an internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral intervention for family caregivers of people with dementia: A randomized-controlled trial.

Objectives: The study evaluated the efficacy of an internet-delivered cognitive-behavioral intervention for caregivers of people with dementia and examined acceptance of program characteristics.

Method: Thirty-nine caregivers (M  = 62.11 ± 9.

[Care of parents with dementia: comparison of caregiving sons and daughters].

Background: In view of the demographic changes and the associated increasing need for care, the role of caregiving sons will also become more important; however, little is known about the caregiving experiences of sons.

Objective: Potential differences between caregiving sons and daughters were investigated with respect to the style of caregiving, the feeling of stress and burden and the utilization of support offers.

Material And Methods: Baseline survey data from the interventional study Tele.
