The overall goal of the Internet-Based Savvy Caregiver (IBSC) program was to develop and bring to market an Internet-based psycho-educational program designed to provide dementia caregivers the knowledge, skills, and outlook they need to undertake and succeed in the caregiving role they have assumed. The IBSC program's concept is based on a face-to-face caregiver-training program and curriculum, the previously validated Savvy Caregiver Program (SCP). The project used an iterative design with expert and consumer input to develop the initial prototype. Forty-seven participants completed the IBSC program and follow-up questionnaire. Results of the formative evaluation showed that participants found the program educational, convenient, useful, and interesting. Participants endorsed feeling more confident in caregiving skills and communication with their family members. The evidence points to the feasibility of an Internet-based program to strengthen family caregivers' confidence in caring for persons with dementia.
互联网明智照护者（IBSC）计划的总体目标是开发并推向市场一个基于互联网的心理教育计划，旨在为痴呆症照护者提供他们在承担和成功完成所承担的照护角色所需的知识、技能和观点。IBSC 计划的概念基于一个面对面的照护者培训计划和课程，即以前经过验证的明智照护者计划（SCP）。该项目采用迭代设计，结合专家和消费者的意见来开发初始原型。47 名参与者完成了 IBSC 计划和后续问卷调查。形成性评估的结果表明，参与者认为该计划具有教育性、方便、有用和有趣。参与者表示对自己的照护技能和与家庭成员的沟通更有信心。证据表明，基于互联网的计划有可行性，可以增强家庭照护者对照顾痴呆症患者的信心。
