“…Dementia caregivers find it difficult to attend any form of group intervention, even locally, due to high costs of and logistical problems in obtaining respite care and transportation (Scott et al, 2016). Sociocultural barriers are also a significant obstacle in translating CBI-based treatment (Wells et al, 2017). Individuals tend to be somewhat mistrustful of providers and interventions originating outside their locale, and this is particularly the case when the provider and/or the treatment approach appear to conflict with their family and religious values (e.g., Glueckauf et al, 2012; Glueckauf & Lustria, 2008; Glueckauf et al, 2005).…”

This article presents themes emerging from semistructured interviews with dementia family caregivers in rural communities who participated in an integrative, cognitive-behavioral and spiritual counseling intervention, and with faith community nurses (FCNs) who delivered the intervention. The primary objectives of the counseling intervention were to ameliorate dementia caregivers' depressive affect and the severity of their self-identified caregiving and self-care problems. The qualitative portion of the study was intended to elicit caregivers' and FCNs' perceptions of the benefits and drawbacks of the intervention. We conducted interviews with seven FCN/caregiver pairs 4 times during the 6-month counseling process, totaling 56 interviews. Themes emerging from the interviews included caregivers' perception of burden and care partners' problem behavior; formation of therapeutic alliance between FCNs and caregivers; problem-solving skills, tools, and resources; caregivers' use of problem-solving strategies; spirituality in caregiving and counseling processes; FCNs' prior professional experience; and caregiver and FCN time constraints.

“…Findings from both reviewers were compared, and areas of disagreement were discussed until consensus was achieved. (1) Were telecommunication-based randomized controlled trials which focused on at least one caregiver outcome (i.e., health behaviors, psychosocial functioning, health service utilization, and cost or clinical outcomes) (2) Used at least one telehealth component in 50% of caregiver training sessions (e.g., service delivery over the Internet, telephone, videophone, point-to-point videoconference, and/or chat) (3) Were primarily focused on family caregiver intervention (may also include a care recipient training component) (4) The care recipient had a chronic medical condition (e.g., HIV/AIDs, progressive dementia, heart failure, psychiatric disabilities, and traumatic brain injury)…”

“…It is commonplace for family caregivers to prioritize the needs of their loved ones with chronic illnesses above their own personal concerns and lifestyle preferences. Although they often verbalize the importance of health-promoting activities, many caregivers find it challenging to create time for self-care opportunities, to attend doctors' appointments, and to ask for caregiving assistance from other family members [3,4]. Caregivers often report substantial declines in social activities, disrupted familial relationships, financial problems, and deterioration in physical and mental health [5].…”

Objective. The purpose of this study was to provide an in-depth analysis of the components and outcomes of telehealth interventions for family caregivers of individuals with chronic health conditions. Methods. A systematic review of 17 databases was conducted for randomized controlled trials published between January 2002 and January 2017. Interventions were analyzed based on type of telecommunication modality, caregiver and care recipient characteristics, intervention components, and caregiver outcomes. Results. A total of 57 articles met criteria for inclusion. Telephone was the most frequently used mode of telehealth delivery and focused primarily on caregivers of older adults with dementia and stroke. Skills training was the most prevalent treatment strategy across telephone, web, and combined telephone and web modalities. Improved psychological functioning was reported most frequently across telehealth modalities. Conclusion. Telehealth is an effective tool in delivering caregiver interventions and leads to significant improvement in caregiver outcomes. Telephone was used most often to deliver cognitive-behavioral and psychoeducational strategies as compared to web and combined telephone and web modalities. Further research is needed to examine the effects of telehealth interventions on caregiving skills and self-efficacy, as well as health outcomes.

“…Practitioners can use assessment measures to assess the level of stress, burden, emotional distress, and relational difficulties of caregivers and be aware of effective interventions for these difficulties, such as support groups and trainings for caregivers (Qualls, 2016). Measures available for practitioners to use to assess caregivers’ coping abilities and level of distress include the Zarit Burden Interview (Zarit, Reever, & Bach-Peterson, 1980), the African American Dementia Caregiver Problem Inventory (Wells et al, 2017), the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Carver, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 2017), among others.…”

The population of the United States is rapidly aging. As the number of older adults increases, their mental health needs increase as well. With this, the need for mental health practitioners to possess the necessary competence to meet the diverse needs of older adults also increases. The characteristics and needs of the older adult population are reviewed to include healthy aging, disorders and challenges associated with the aging process, and related treatment needs are addressed. Steps for obtaining and maintaining the competence to effectively provide clinical services to the older adult population are explained along with a review of the APA Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Older Adults (APA, 2014). The needs of caregivers and both ethics and legal issues relevant to the treatment of older adults are emphasized. The role of interprofessional practice and active collaboration with other health care providers is explained. Recommendations are made for the mental health professions, for practicing mental health clinicians, and for mental health clinicians in training to take needed action now to meet the mental health needs of this population.
