Summary

This study tests a structured nursing program called 'Conectando Corazones' (Connecting Hearts) designed to help family caregivers of older adults with dementia. The program includes six sessions over 12 hours, combining in-person meetings with independent work, to improve how caregivers handle their role. Researchers compare caregivers who receive this program with those who get usual care, measuring changes in their caregiving tasks, organization, and emotional responses.
