Abstract

Financial strain disproportionally affects the growing population of Latino family caregivers. This pilot study aimed to test the feasibility of a culturally tailored psychoeducational intervention for Latino caregivers designed to reduce financial strain by improving resourcefulness and self-efficacy. Feasibility was assessed according to participant demands, ability to deliver the intervention, and preliminary efficacy. From May 2022 to September 2023, Confidently Navigating Financial Decisions and Enhancing Financial Wellbeing in Dementia Caregiving (CONFIDENCE) was administered to 69 caregivers over 11 cohorts in a community setting. Caregivers attended an average of 3.13 (SD = 0.17) of five sessions. Eligible caregivers were given the option to participate in a single-arm pre- and post-test study. Results from N = 20 caregivers indicated reduced levels of financial strain 2 months post-intervention (p-value = .013). Findings also showed improvements resourcefulness and self-efficacy. Although CONFIDENCE appears feasible to deliver and may affect desired outcomes, future studies should reduce intervention demands to improve attendance.Trial RegistrationThis trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05292248).

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
