Video calls ease the heavy burden on dementia caregivers
NCT ID NCT04627662
Summary
This study tested a program called Tele-STELLA, which uses video calls to support family members caring for a loved one with moderate to severe dementia. Over 375 caregivers worked with trained guides from their own homes to learn strategies for managing difficult behaviors like agitation or confusion. The goal was to reduce these upsetting behaviors and, in turn, lower the stress and burden felt by the caregivers.
