Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate a care empowerment program using virtual reality on dementia knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy in managing BPSD, empathy and caregiver burden of family caregivers of people with dementia.
Detailed Description:
The majority of patients with dementia live at home and cared by their families in Taiwan. Most of family caregivers have limited knowledge and care skills of dementia, therefore they experience great stress and caregiver burden which may have negative impact on their physical and mental health.
This two-group randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate a care empowerment program using virtual reality on dementia knowledge, attitude, care self-efficacy in managing BPSD, empathy and caregiver burden of family caregivers of people with dementia.
The intervention group will receive the Care Empowerment Program, which consists of dementia care e-books and virtual reality-based dementia activities, in addition to the routine dementia care manual and family support group.
The control group will only receive routine dementia care manual and family support group with no dementia virtual reality activity.
Both groups will be assessed for their dementia knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy in managing BPSD, empathy and caregiver burden at baseline, month 3, and 4.
