UNASSIGNED: The aim of the study is to describe a research protocol that highlights the development of a telecare-based intervention program for reducing stress levels in informal caregivers of community-dwelling older adults.
UNASSIGNED: It is a randomized controlled trial. The study is supported by two community centers. The study participants will be randomly assigned to either the telecare-based intervention group or the control group. The former will receive a 3-month program comprised of three components: online nurse case management supported by a health and social care team, an online resource center, and a discussion forum. The latter will receive the usual services that provided by the community centers. Data will be collected at two time points - pre-intervention (T1) and post-intervention (T2). The primary outcome is stress levels, while secondary outcomes include self-efficacy, depression levels, quality of life, and caregiving burden.
UNASSIGNED: Besides taking care of one or more older adults, informal caregivers have to deal with work, chores, and take care of their children. This study will add valuable information to the knowledge gap on whether telecare-based interventions with the support of an integrated health-social team can alleviate the stress levels of informal caregivers of community-dwelling older adults. If successful, policymakers and healthcare professionals should consider incorporating telecare modalities in a primary health setting for informal caregivers to correspond with them, to relieve their caregiving stress and promote a healthy life.

■该研究的目的是描述一项研究方案,该方案强调了基于远程护理的干预计划的开发,以降低社区居住的老年人的非正式护理人员的压力水平。
■这是一项随机对照试验。该研究得到了两个社区中心的支持。研究参与者将被随机分配到基于远程护理的干预组或对照组。前者将接受为期3个月的计划,包括三个部分:由健康和社会护理团队支持的在线护士病例管理,在线资源中心,和讨论论坛。后者将获得社区中心提供的常规服务。将在两个时间点收集数据-干预前(T1)和干预后(T2)。主要结果是压力水平,次要结果包括自我效能感,抑郁程度,生活质量,和照顾的负担。
■除了照顾一个或多个老年人,非正式的照顾者必须处理工作,家务,照顾他们的孩子.这项研究将为知识差距增加有价值的信息,即在综合健康社会团队的支持下,基于远程护理的干预措施是否可以减轻社区居住老年人的非正式护理人员的压力水平。如果成功,政策制定者和医疗保健专业人员应考虑将远程医疗模式纳入初级健康环境,以便非正式护理人员与他们对应,减轻他们的照顾压力,促进健康生活。
