Researchers tested the impact of a 10-week intervention, (CARE), on misunderstandings and resolutions in marital communication between spouses affected by dementia. A single group, repeated-measures secondary analysis was used to analyze 65 transcribed dyadic conversations for misunderstandings, resolutions, number of caregiver and care receiver words over 10 sessions. Misunderstandings continued to occur over 10 weeks, but resolution of misunderstandings increased ( = 5.75, = .044). Increased caregiver words escalated misunderstandings. Dementia-related language impairments threaten relationships by creating frustration and stress in older couples. With CARE, spouse caregivers can improve resolution of misunderstandings.
研究人员测试了为期 10 周的干预措施（CARE）对受痴呆影响的配偶之间婚姻沟通中误解和解决的影响。采用单组、重复测量的二次分析方法，对 65 段双声道对话进行了分析，以了解 10 个会话中的误解、解决、护理者和护理接收者的用词数量。尽管误解持续了 10 周，但误解的解决却有所增加（= 5.75，=.044）。护理者用词的增加加剧了误解。与痴呆症相关的语言障碍通过在老年夫妇中制造挫折感和压力来威胁关系。通过 CARE，配偶护理者可以提高误解的解决能力。
