Piloting a Dementia Caregiver Intervention in a Primary Care Setting
Mona Shah Barman, Daniel Paulson. Clinical gerontologist, 2020-07-18
Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
Results revealed that participants demonstrated a significant increase in mean caregiver preparedness scores. No significant effects were found for caregiver strain, depressive symptoms, and distress related to neuropsychiatric symptoms. Participants rated being largely satisfied with the program. Results suggest that this 6-week caregiver support group may be a promising caregiver intervention in primary care clinics. Findings support the importance of caregiver support for persons with dementia in primary care.

How this study scored 48/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 27 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 48 out of 100.
