In brief
This randomized control study is to test effectiveness of occupational therapy support for informal caregivers of older adults with cognitive decline. Care recipients are community-living older adults who are eligible for a nursing home level of care. At baseline challenges that caregivers are facing will be expressed and individualized solutions will be identified and delivered for the treatment and educational material will be given to the control group. Two and four months later, follow up interview will be made to identify changes in burden, depression, fatigue, self-efficacy, and positive aspect of care giving. It is expected to show when the effectiveness becomes clear.
