简要总结
The goal of this study is to determine whether a mobile phone-based psychoeducational intervention can reduce stress among caregivers of individuals with dementia in Vietnam. The primary research question is: Does the intervention reduce levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among participants? The secondary research question is: Does the intervention increase caregivers' knowledge about dementia, enhance social support, or reduce caregiver burden?
详细描述
The study consists of two groups: an intervention group and a control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive psychoeducational content through the Zalo app on their mobile phones. Weekly, they will be provided with a topic related to dementia care, such as daily caregiving, fall prevention, pressure injury prevention and care, self-care, and coping as a caregiver. Levels of depression, anxiety, and stress will be assessed both before and after the intervention. In the control group, participants will continue receiving standard care.
