Abstract

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a significant impact on the quality of life (QOL) and interventions aimed at their improvement show inconclusive results. Objectives were study protocol to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent caregiver intervention on the QOL of persons with AD. Methods: The design is a randomized clinical trial with blinded assessment of response variables. Ninety-four dyads of informal caregivers and their relatives with AD will be recruited in the Osona and Ripollès territorial service of geriatrics and palliative care of the Consorci Hospitalari de Vic (Osona, Spain) and randomized into experimental (EG) and control group (CG). An 8-week online multicomponent psychological intervention including psychoeducation and mindfulness will be provided to the EG caregivers. The CG will perform the usual care. Outcome will be the QOL of persons with AD assessed with the QOL-AD. Conclusions: The multicomponent online caregiver research detailed in this protocol could be incorporated into health and care facilities for persons with AD and their families to improve caregiving and QOL.

在线心理干预对阿尔茨海默病患者生活质量的影响:一项随机临床试验方案

背景:阿尔茨海默病(AD)对生活质量(QOL)有显著影响，旨在改善生活质量的干预措施尚无定论。目的是研究方案，以评估多成分护理干预对阿尔茨海默病患者生活质量的有效性。方法:采用随机临床试验设计，对反应变量进行盲法评估。94对患有阿尔茨海默病的非正式照顾者及其亲属将在奥索纳和里波伦特地区维克医院(西班牙奥索纳)的老年病学和姑息治疗服务部门招募，并随机分为实验组(EG)和对照组(CG)。对EG照顾者进行为期8周的在线多成分心理干预，包括心理教育和正念。CG将进行常规护理。结果将是用QOL-AD评估AD患者的生活质量。结论:本方案中详细介绍的多组分在线护理人员研究可纳入AD患者及其家庭的卫生和护理机构，以改善护理和生活质量。
