Telecaregiving for Dementia: A Mapping Review of Technological and Nontechnological Interventions.

Background And Objectives: Informal (or family) caregivers to older adults with Alzheimer's disease or other related dementias (ADRD) could greatly benefit from innovative telecaregiving systems that support caregiving from a distance. The objective of this review is to better understand (a) who is involved in telecaregiving and their experiences; (b) the interventions currently available to support ADRD telecaregiving; and (c) the outcomes measured to assess the effects of ADRD telecaregiving interventions.

Research Design And Methods: A mapping review was conducted by systematically searching MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and PsycINFO for all works published in English from 2002 to 2022.

Medication management strategies by family caregivers of children with special healthcare needs.

Background: Little is known about the strategies utilized by family caregivers managing medications for their children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN), those who require higher than normal care due to their multifaceted healthcare needs. Medication management strategies are a set of methods or techniques developed or adapted by caregivers to overcome medication-related barriers and ensure successful therapeutic outcomes. An in-depth understanding of such strategies is a requisite first step toward developing interventions that support caregiver-mediated medication management.
