Effectiveness of a Culturally Adapted Online Education Program (iSupport-Korea) for Family Caregivers of People With Dementia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of iSupport-Korea, a culturally adapted online education program for family caregivers of people with dementia. A total of 160 caregivers will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group and followed for 4 months. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention group will show greater improvements in care-related quality of life, caregiver self-efficacy, and family decision-making self-efficacy.
