“…Spouse/partners tended to comprise most of the samples (62%) across the 15 studies reporting this information, with adult children/ in-law the other main group of caregivers (on average, 29% of samples across 14 studies). When reported, co-residence of the caregivers with care recipients tended to correspond closely with spousal caregiving, although a significant exception was Yu et al's (2019) work from Hong Kong where co-residence was 100% despite 61% of their sample being child/in-law caregivers. Although it was of interest how long caregivers had been providing assistance to the care recipient, how much time they spent providing care, and how many co-morbidities the care recipients had, this information was sparsely and inconsistently reported so could not be meaningfully summarized.…”

Interventions for caregivers of persons with dementia are well supported, but it remains unclear whether caregivers benefit from early-stage intervention when caring for persons with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether early-stage interventions for this population positively affect their well-being and ability to provide care and whether effectiveness varies based on intervention or caregiver/recipient characteristics. Searches of four databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PSYCINFO, and CINAHL) yielded 20,722 titles and 1,305 full texts were independently screened. Twenty-two reports representing 18 randomized controlled trial (RCT)/controlled early-stage intervention studies were included for meta-analysis, measuring a variety of outcomes for which effect sizes were calculated using standardized mean differences. Findings suggest that early-stage intervention has a small positive effect on both caregiver well-being and ability to provide care, with the largest effects observed for caregiver anxiety and caring-related distress. Moderator analyses showed no statistically significant difference in effectiveness based on type of intervention (counseling/psychotherapy, psychoeducational, or multicomponent) or individual versus group-based interventions. However, interventions that were caregiver only (vs. dyadic) had larger positive effects on caregiver well-being and ability to provide care. None of the caregiver/recipient characteristics examined (sex, type of relationship, and type of dementia) were related to the effectiveness of early-stage interventions. Although published controlled/ RCT trials were limited, findings support efforts to offer early-stage interventions to caregivers of persons with mild dementia or MCI. Further research to determine what intervention types or components are most efficacious would aid the provision of optimal support for caregivers early in their caregiving trajectory.

“…Our study findings showed that the older people defined respect in family relationships as attention to their preferences and participation in familial occasions. It is believed that appropriate planning for life activities based on older people’s abilities and preferences is associated with improved feelings of efficiency, self-esteem, pleasure, comfort, creativity and autonomy [ 43 , 44 ]. Older people in various cultures commonly wish that children would pay greater attention to their parents and give them gifts on special occasions.…”

Meaning of Respect for Older People in Family Relationships

et al. 2022

Background: Older people have various physical and mental health needs and often receive help from their family members to perform their daily life activities. This research aimed to explore the meaning of respect for older people in family relationships. Methods: A qualitative study using a content analysis approach was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were performed with sixteen older people and four family members. Results: Three main categories were developed: “respect for personal interests”, “kind and sincere respect” and “respect for autonomy”. Understanding of the meaning of respect for older people was influenced by special expectations from family members in terms of meeting personal needs, consideration of preferences and interests and empowerment and support to help preserve older people’s independence and autonomy. Conclusions: Family members should be informed and educated with regard to their expected roles in family relationships, and should consider respect as an important factor affecting older people’s well-being.

“…41,42 A psychological intervention called dyadic strength-based empowerment program (D-StEP-MCI) improved the cognitive and NPS of individuals with MCI and reduced overall depression of the care dyads. 43 A type of training designed to help individuals with MCI adapt to memory loss, called memory support system (MSS) training, may help promote patients' level of functioning and an improved sense of memory self-efficacy, leading to improved mood and less caregiver burden over time. 44…”

Non-Pharmacological Treatments of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Mild Cognitive Impairment

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a syndrome defined by objective cognitive deficits that do not impact functional independence. Individuals with MCI develop dementia at an annual rate of 10 to 15%. Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common non-cognitive features of neurocognitive disorders and have a major impact on the wellbeing and quality of life of affected individuals and their families. Non-pharmacological interventions for NPS are considered the first-line treatment because of the limited efficacy and side-effect potential of current pharmacological agents. This article summarizes the literature on non-pharmacological treatments for NPS in MCI. The limited number of studies specific to individuals with MCI and its various etiologies, as well as the overall heterogeneity of research design and methodologies, make the evidence base inconclusive. Nevertheless, some studies support psychosocial interventions aimed at individuals with MCI and their caregivers.
