: Dementia involves progressive cognitive and functional deterioration that leads to dependence and overload on family caregivers. This overload has a negative impact on the physical, mental, emotional, and occupational health of caregivers, leading to occupational imbalance and problems arising from an inadequate distribution of time devoted to caregiving. This project aims to evaluate the effects of the technology-based CAREFIT programme, structured around physical activity interventions, education, and psychoemotional and social support, on the health-related quality of life and emotional well-being of informal caregivers. : The experimental group will develop the intervention programme, which will last 8 weeks and combine educational activities, physical activities, and psychoemotional and social support. Before beginning the intervention, the entire experimental group will receive a training session and educational materials on how to access and use the platform. The CAREFIT platform will consist of two educational sessions and two weekly physical sessions, combined with psychoemotional and social support activities that participants must complete. Initial, final, and follow-up evaluations will be conducted. The HRQoL and psychoemotional health (stress, anxiety, depression, and perceived social support and burden) of caregivers of people with dementia will be the main outcome measures. The effects of the intervention on the study variables will be assessed using a repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). : The proposed protocol for the CAREFIT programme represents an innovative and multidisciplinary initiative that leverages a digital platform to promote the well-being of informal caregivers of people with dementia. This approach combines health literacy and strengthened psychoemotional and social support. Through this integration, the goal is to reduce the levels of burden, stress, anxiety, and depression among primary caregivers, while strengthening their self-care capabilities and social support networks.
痴呆症会导致认知和功能逐渐衰退，使家庭照料者产生依赖并负担过重。这种负担过重会对照料者的身体、心理、情感和职业健康产生负面影响，导致职业失衡以及因照料时间分配不足而产生的问题。本项目旨在评估基于技术的CAREFIT项目对非正式照料者健康相关生活质量和情绪健康的影响，该项目围绕体育活动干预、教育以及心理情感和社会支持展开。
实验组将开展为期8周的干预项目，该项目将教育活动、体育活动以及心理情感和社会支持相结合。在开始干预之前，整个实验组将接受一次关于如何访问和使用该平台的培训课程及教育材料。CAREFIT平台将包括两次教育课程和每周两次的体育课程，同时还有参与者必须完成的心理情感和社会支持活动。将进行初始、最终和随访评估。痴呆症患者照料者的健康相关生活质量和心理情感健康（压力、焦虑、抑郁以及感知到的社会支持和负担）将作为主要的评估指标。将使用重复测量方差分析（ANOVA）来评估干预对研究变量的影响。
拟议的CAREFIT项目方案是一项创新的多学科举措，它利用数字平台来促进痴呆症患者非正式照料者的福祉。这种方法将健康素养与强化的心理情感和社会支持相结合。通过这种整合，目标是减轻主要照料者的负担、压力、焦虑和抑郁水平，同时增强他们的自我照料能力和社会支持网络。
