Quality-of-Life Outcomes Among Alzheimer’s Disease Family Caregivers Following Community-Based Intervention

---

Abstract.
This study sought to determine how community-based interventions such
as adult day programs and caregiver support groups affected the quality
of life (QOL) of caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease clients. The authors
hypothesized that using community-based interventions would increase the
QOL of caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease clients. They conducted a pilot
study employing a cross-sectional comparative design involving 62 caregivers
in the Durham region, Ontario, Canada. Individuals were recruited at five
adult day programs and at six caregiver support groups, involving primary
data collection consisting of a self-report questionnaire and a 13-item QOL
scale. The authors’ findings show that caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease
clients who used community-based interventions enjoyed similar levels of
QOL as caregivers of non-Alzheimer’s disease clients. These findings suggest
that community-based interventions may be beneficial and should target
the multiple needs of caregivers, including their knowledge of community
resources and coping strategies.
