Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), such as agitation, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, and apathy, are common among people with dementia and often increase the burden on family caregivers. Many caregivers have limited knowledge and confidence in managing these symptoms.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week web-based psychoeducation and BPSD symptom-monitoring program in improving caregivers' self-efficacy in managing BPSD. Community-dwelling family caregivers of people with dementia will be recruited from the neurology outpatient clinic of Lotung Poh-Ai Hospital in Taiwan.
Participants will be assigned sequentially to either an intervention group receiving web-based psychoeducation, BPSD symptom monitoring, and usual care, or a control group receiving usual care alone. The primary outcome is caregiver self-efficacy. Secondary outcomes include BPSD severity and caregiver burden.
