Can we support you in your caregiving journey?
We are looking for family caregivers of community-dwelling persons with dementia (PWD) to participate in a National Institutes of Health (NIH)/National Institute on Aging (NIA)-funded study at the UCI Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing.
Our study explores the use of a home-delivered intervention, which includes stress reduction techniques by mindful breathing, compassionate support/listening and caregiving education to improve the caregiver’s health, well-being and positive interactions with the PWD.
The intervention involves education and stress-reduction skills delivered by community health workers in your home and preferred language.
Some participants will receive a total of nine home visits, while others may receive three.
You will be compensated up to $200 and a smartwatch and smart ring at the completion of the six-month study.
Home visits are scheduled at your convenience.
Eligibility
- Age 18 and older
- Self-report your ethnicity/race as Latino/Hispanic, Vietnamese, Korean or non-Hispanic White
- Willing to wear a smart watch and smart ring for three months
