Long-term outcomes of the benefit-finding group intervention for Alzheimer family caregivers: A cluster-randomized double-blind controlled trial

The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Mar 29, 2019

Cheng ST, et al. - Researchers assessed the effects on Alzheimer family caregivers of the group benefit-finding intervention (BFT) in an up to 10-month follow-up. Evaluation of BFT (using cognitive reappraisal to find positive meanings) was done against two forms of psychoeducation as controls—standard (STD-PE) and simplified (lectures only; SIM-PE) psychoeducation in 129 caregivers. As per mixed-effects regression, BFT's strong initial effect on depressive symptoms plateaued following post-intervention and was sustained for up to 10-months of follow-up. Findings also showed medium to long-term effects on psychological well-being and burden. The beneficial effects of constructing positive aspects of caregiving through cognitive reappraisal and alternative thinking (ie, BFT) were thus strongly supported by this work.
