The goal of this project is to investigate the effect of cognitive empathy training on mental health inflammation and immune function in caregivers of people living with dementia PLWD and to examine the underlying psychological and neurobiological mechanisms
The primary aim is to establish the effectiveness of cognitive empathy training in improving caregiver mental health and immune function and in decreasing caregiver inflammation
The secondary aim is to investigate the psychological and neurobiological mechanism by which cognitive empathy training improves caregiver well-being

Detailed Description:
In the US over 7 million people currently live with Alzheimers disease and related disorders ADRD a number projected to exceed 16 million by 2060 Family caregivers numbering more than 11 million play a crucial role in managing the care of these individuals often bearing significant emotional and financial burdens In 2021 the cost of care for dementia reached 593 billion with families contributing a substantial portion Caregivers frequently experience negative mental and physical health impacts due to chronic stress including increased rates of depression and inflammation Research indicates that caregiving leads to decreased immune function with elevated Epstein-Barr virus antibody titers serving as a marker for immune health Interventions aimed at supporting caregivers such as psychoeducational programs have shown benefits particularly in enhancing coping skills Additionally fostering cognitive empathy in caregivers may improve their mental health and the quality of care provided to individuals with dementia potentially mitigating some of the adverse health effects associated with caregiving stress
