Brief Summary:
The Primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness based caregiver intervention, Practice of Acceptance, Awareness, and Compassion in Caregiving (PAACC) compared to an established cognitive behavior therapy based dementia caregiver intervention, Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health (REACH) in improving caregiver burden and quality of life of care recipient.
Detailed Description:
The study is a randomized controlled trial comparing a mindfulness-enhanced evidence-based caregiver skill-building intervention (PAACC) to REACH-VA to reduce caregiver burden and increase quality of life of the care recipient. For this, caregivers of persons with ADRD or TBI-AD who have moderate to severe burden will be randomly assigned to either receive PAACC or receive REACH-VA. Both the interventions will include 4 biweekly sessions delivered by trained interventionists, followed by an outcome testing session after the intervention. Outcomes of caregiver stress, health and well being will be assessed at baseline and at the end of the intervention.
