Elder mistreatment occurs in as many as one-half of the 11 million family care partnerships with persons living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (AD/ADRD) in the United States. is an 8-week psychoeducational intervention to prevent psychological mistreatment among family caregivers to persons living with dementia by building healthy caregiving relationships. The investigators conducted a single-arm pre- and posttest study to assess 's feasibility. A total of 45 caregivers enrolled, among whom 37 completed the follow-up survey (82.2% retention). Caregivers attended an average of 2.1 of 3 discussion sessions ( = 0.76). Paired t-test analyses comparing outcomes at baseline and post-intervention demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in psychological mistreatment and relationship strain, and an increase in resourcefulness skills. These findings suggest is a feasible low- to moderate-intensity intervention to prevent psychological mistreatment with AD/ADRD caregiving. Future research will test 's efficacy.
在美国，1100万个与患有阿尔茨海默病或相关痴呆症（AD/ADRD）的人建立家庭护理关系的案例中，多达一半存在虐待老年人的情况。[具体干预措施名称]是一项为期8周的心理教育干预措施，旨在通过建立健康的护理关系，防止家庭护理人员对痴呆症患者进行心理虐待。研究人员进行了一项单组前后测研究，以评估[具体干预措施名称]的可行性。共有45名护理人员登记参加，其中37人完成了随访调查（保留率为82.2%）。护理人员平均参加了3次讨论会议中的2.1次（出勤率=0.76）。配对t检验分析比较了基线和干预后的结果，结果显示心理虐待和关系紧张程度在统计学上显著降低，应变能力有所提高。这些发现表明，[具体干预措施名称]是一种可行的低至中等强度的干预措施，可预防AD/ADRD护理中的心理虐待。未来的研究将测试[具体干预措施名称]的效果。
