Abstract

Elder mistreatment occurs in as many as one-half of the 11 million family care partnerships with persons living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (AD/ADRD) in the United States. Knowledge and Interpersonal Skills to Develop Enhanced Relationships is an 8-week psychoeducational intervention to prevent psychological mistreatment among family caregivers to persons living with dementia by building healthy caregiving relationships. The investigators conducted a single-arm pre- and posttest study to assess KINDER's feasibility. A total of 45 caregivers enrolled, among whom 37 completed the follow-up survey (82.2% retention). Caregivers attended an average of 2.1 of 3 discussion sessions (SD = 0.76). Paired t-test analyses comparing outcomes at baseline and post-intervention demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in psychological mistreatment and relationship strain, and an increase in resourcefulness skills. These findings suggest KINDER is a feasible low- to moderate-intensity intervention to prevent psychological mistreatment with AD/ADRD caregiving. Future research will test KINDER's efficacy.

在美国与阿尔茨海默氏症或相关痴呆症（AD/ADRD）患者建立的 1100 万个家庭护理伙伴关系中，多达二分之一的家庭存在虐待老人的情况。增进人际关系的知识和人际交往技巧》是一项为期 8 周的心理教育干预项目，旨在通过建立健康的护理关系来预防痴呆症患者家庭护理人员的心理虐待行为。研究人员开展了一项单臂前后测试研究，以评估 KINDER 的可行性。共有 45 名护理人员报名参加，其中 37 人完成了后续调查（保留率为 82.2%）。护理人员平均参加了 3 节讨论课中的 2.1 节（SD = 0.76）。通过对基线和干预后的结果进行配对 t 检验分析表明，心理虐待和关系紧张程度在统计学上有显著下降，而足智多谋技能则有所提高。这些研究结果表明，KINDER 是一种可行的中低强度干预措施，可以预防注意力缺失/注意力缺陷护理中的心理虐待。未来的研究将检验 KINDER 的有效性。
