An Innovative Supportive Care Model for Dementia and Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

The Innovative Supportive Care Model for Dementia and Traumatic Brain Injury aims to fill a gap in research through investigation of the efficacy of a nonpharmacological, dementia care coordination program for caregivers of community-dwelling persons with dementia (PWD), delivered via a novel telehealth technology approach. The project examines the programs efficacy in 1) reducing caregiver burden, 2) reducing symptoms of depression, 3) improving caregivers ability to effectively cope with the behavioral symptoms of dementia (BSD), and 4) improving quality of life in caregivers of PWD, particularly those with dementia following a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
