简要总结
This pilot study will test the effect of an online asynchronous psychoeducational intervention to improve relationship quality and prevent verbal-type elder mistreatment in caregiving dyads. The investigators will use a pre-post test design to test the feasibility and acceptability of this video-based intervention, and to determine the likelihood that participation in this program may improve caregiver relationship quality.

研究组 & 干预措施
KINDER Participant
The intervention will be provided with a 8-part psychoeducational intervention delivered online on a weekly basis. Online modules will be comprised of a short (approximately 3 minute) videos followed by more specific text-based information and links to additional resources. At the end of the module, participants will complete a short quiz, followed by a reflection exercise to reinforce learning. Each model, participants will be asked to select a goal to complete a pleasurable activity and receive an option to set a text or email reminder to do so.
干预措施: KINDER (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in frequency of verbal mistreatment
时间窗: This measure will be asked immediately before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 2 months after the intervention is complete. The question asks participants about events in the previous 2 months.
This scale will measure frequency of verbal mistreatment using a measure based on the Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus et al., 1996), with additional questions from other items (Acierno et al., 2010; Beach et al., 2005; Conrad et al., 2011; Deliema et al., 2012)
Change in the number of positive aspects of the relationship with the care recipient (Dyadic Relationship Scale)
时间窗: This measure will be asked immediately before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 2 months after the intervention is complete. The question asks participants about events in the previous 2 months.
Participants are asked how much they agree with positive statements about their relationship with the care receiver on a 0 to 3 scale. This item comes from Sebern \& Whitlatch (2007)
