The goal of this three-armed, double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the effectiveness of an online self-help eCoaching intervention designed for caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are:
What is the impact of the online self-help eCoaching intervention on the well-being, depressive symptoms, and self-efficacy of participants? Researchers will compare the results between the intervention groups and the control group to see if participants in the intervention groups have lower distress, burden and higher accuracy.
