New coaching program aims to calm care battles for dementia and brain injury families
NCT ID NCT03734289
Summary
This study tested a distance-learning program to train family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's dementia or traumatic brain injury (TBI). The goal was to teach strategies to reduce care-resistant behaviors—like agitation or aggression during bathing or taking medicine—to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Researchers compared families who received the training immediately to those who waited, to see if the coaching itself made a difference.
