Participant Flow
Family carers of elders with dementia will be recruited using various strategies (community support organizations, publicly posted flyers, online ads) in NE Ohio. Eligible participants were adults over the age of 18, who were carers of a family member (over the age of 65) with a medical diagnosis of dementia, and had transitioned to a new phase of caring in the previous 6 months.
Enrolled participants may be excluded if they elect not to participate after enrolling.

Need
Participants will be assigned to either Resourcefulness Training or HRV-focused Biofeedback interventions based on their need (as determined by baseline data).
Resourcefulness Training: A cognitive-behavioral intervention presented within an audiovisual format that consists of teaching and reinforcing personal (self-help) and social (help-seeking) resourcefulness skills.
Biofeedback Training: Use of a heart-rate variability (HRV) tracking device to enable one to learn to alter physiology to improve health. Devices are used to measure physiological activity, e.g., breathing and heart function, and provide rapid, accurate "feedback" to the user, thereby enabling desired physiological changes that can endure over time without continued use of the device and to continue to influence behavior.

Preference
Participants will be given a choice of Resourcefulness Training or HRV-focused Biofeedback interventions.

Attention Control
Participants assigned to the attention control group will be presented with Diversionary activities.
Diversional Activites: An audiovisual format presenting 12 activities for adults including but not limited; crossword puzzles, reading, gardening, exercise, cooking/baking, board games, learning a new language, social activities, online games, etc.

Need
n=105 Participants
Participants in this arm were, at enrollment, caregivers (in the home), care partners (with a care facility), or caretakers (bereaved) of persons with dementia. Those in this randomly assigned group were given a choice to participate in one of two self-management interventions (either biofeedback or resourcefulness training).

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: From T1 (baseline) to T2 (6 months) through T3 (one year)Population: The overall analyzed participants included all who completed the T3 questionnaire across the three arms. 15 participants in each arm discontinued their participation between baseline (T1) and T3. Thus, this number equals 308 (who completed baseline measures) minus 45 (who dropped out over time) which equals 263 at T3.
