The COVID-19 pandemic is placing a strain on caregivers for patients with conditions such as dementia. Research on the remote delivery of information, training and support for them might provide useful information for policy makers.
Remotely delivered interventions including support, training or both, with or without information, may slightly reduce caregiver burden and improve caregiver depressive symptoms when compared with provision of information alone.
The effects on the quality of life ...
The authors of this Cochrane review included 26 randomized clinical trials (2367 participants) and identified an additional 13 ongoing studies and 3 studies awaiting classification. They consider that remotely delivered interventions including support, training or both, with or without information, may slightly reduce caregiver burden and improve caregiver depressive symptoms when compared with provision of information alone.
