Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will assess the preliminary efficacy of a synchronous/asynchronous psychoeducation program designed to promote caregiving mastery in the immediate time period after a dementia diagnosis. It will also study the effects on caregiver and care recipient well-being.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Caregiver Bootcamp program will employ psychoeducational methods (expert instruction, expectation of active learning by participants, debriefing and coaching linked to participant reports of application of strategies and principles) to enhance the proposed mechanism of action of the intervention, the enhancement of caregiving mastery - the individual's self-acknowledgement of self-efficacy for coping with the stresses of the new caregiving role.

The program is meant to provide basic orientation to the situation: recognize the reality of the condition; understand the shifts in mindset that the immediate situation demands; begin to recognize the shift in responsibility that will have to occur; and take practical steps to prepare for the future. The program will combine 5 weekly small group 90-120-minute online sessions with asynchronous instructional materials delivered 2-4 days in between sessions.

Study Groups

Synchronous/asynchronous online course Participants

The program will combine 5 weekly small group (8 participants) 90-120-minute online sessions with asynchronous instructional materials delivered 2-4 days in between sessions.

A time suited to all for the synchronous sessions will be identified. The research team will provide instructions for accessing the weekly sessions and asynchronous segments, and mail out supplemental course materials. The team will track online attendance, and the Canvas platform will enable them to monitor each individual's viewing of the asynchronous materials.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Synchronous/asynchronous online course

Intervention Type OTHER

* Synchronous weekly 90-120-minute-long sessions that will be conducted on a videoconferencing platform (i.e., Zoom). If participants miss a synchronous session.
* Asynchronous online course: available segments of the online course with asynchronous instructional materials delivered 2-4 days in between sessions, and supplemental course materials that will be received by mail.
