详细描述
The primary goal of this pilot project is to develop an evidence-informed on-line psychoeducation program (Tele-Savvy) based on the well-established Savvy Caregiver program to address the unique challenges facing informal caregivers of those living with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) and to help these caregivers achieve mastery. Key elements of the adaptation process are to identify and adapt mechanistic elements of the Tele-Savvy intervention (increasing self-efficacy, mastery of new skills, increased knowledge of disease-specific symptoms and trajectories, problem-solving skills). We will engage PPA caregivers in the process of adapting the existing Tele-Savvy program to fit their needs and then pilot test the adapted PPA Tele-Savvy program.
