The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of stress-relief interventions for family members of patients with dementia.
This analysis includes peer-reviewed articles published between 1989 and 2019, selected from online databases. The introduced keywords were: stress reduction, dementia, or Alzheimer's; program, therapy, intervention, or technique; caregivers.
We utilized the following inclusion criteria: (1) studies with experimental or quasi-experimental design; (2) study samples that include adult caregivers, who take care of other family members diagnosed with various types of dementia; (3) testing one or more types of psychological inferences presented in the study has been conducted to reduce the stress of patients with dementia; (4) studies written in English and subjected to a peer-review process.
Stress-reduction interventions for patients with dementia appear to have had a statistically significant effect in most of the identified studies.
On a qualitative level, the results show the effectiveness of both pre-test and follow-up interventions, but these results are to be regarded cautiously, considering the heterogeneity of the evaluation tools used and the small number of studies included.
本文旨在评估针对痴呆症患者家庭成员的减压干预措施的有效性。
该分析纳入了1989年至2019年间发表的、从在线数据库中选取的经同行评审的文章。引入的关键词为：减压、痴呆症或阿尔茨海默病；项目、疗法、干预措施或技术；照料者。
我们采用了以下纳入标准：（1）采用实验性或准实验性设计的研究；（2）研究样本包括成年照料者，他们照料被诊断患有各种类型痴呆症的其他家庭成员；（3）已进行测试以降低痴呆症患者压力的研究中所呈现的一种或多种心理干预措施；（4）用英文撰写并经过同行评审的研究。
在大多数已确定的研究中，针对痴呆症患者的减压干预措施似乎具有统计学上的显著效果。
在定性层面上，结果显示了预测试和后续干预措施的有效性，但考虑到所使用评估工具的异质性以及所纳入研究数量较少，这些结果应谨慎看待。
