Detailed Description:
Caregivers of people living with dementia experience significant stress which can negatively affect their mental health Psychological interventions that focus on building skills and providing strategies to improve their well-being have been shown to improve caregiver well-being Although mobile applications apps are available for caregivers of people living with dementia existing apps do not adequately address the stress and mental health needs experienced by caregivers of people living with dementia In addition there is a paucity of mobile app interventions that provide practical stress management strategies for caregivers The goal of the study is to conduct an evaluation of a novel app UR Caregiver that focuses on providing stress management strategies for caregivers of people living with dementia The app utilizes cognitive behavioural principles and is consistent with models of stress and coping Caregivers of people living with dementia will be recruited and randomly assigned to three groups 1 UR Caregiver 2 active control and 3 non-app using control Participants in the app-using groups will be asked to use the app over an 8-week period Stress burden and mental health will be assessed before after the 8-week period and at a follow-up period A 3 between group by 3 within time baseline post follow-up mixed model repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance and univariate analyses will be conducted to examine improvements on outcome measures over time Given the demands that caregivers of people living with dementia face daily the creation and evaluation of an app that aims to provide stress-management strategies has the potential of improving the quality of life of caregivers of people living with dementia
